The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is an US-Japan joint space mission to observe tropical and subtropical rainfall. This satellite is equipped with the world's first precipitation radar that operates at 13.8 GHz. We introduce the TRMM precipitation radar (PR) system, along with the PR data processing and analysis algorithms, and some observation results obtained by the TRMM PR. It is concluded that the TRMM PR can give quite useful rainfall data for the understanding of global climate changes, meteorology, climatology, atmospheric science, and also for the studies of satellite communication.

We present here, some of the studies carried for estimation of rainfall over land and oceanic regions in and around South Korea. We use active and passive microwave measurements from TRMM - TMI and Precipitation Radar (PR) respectively during a typhoon even named - RUSA that took place during 30 Aug. 2002. We have followed due approach by Yao at. all (2002) and examined the performance of their algorithm using two main predictor variable, named as Scattering Index (SI) and Polarization Corrected Brightness Temperature (PCT) while using TMI data. The rainfall rate estimated using PCT and SI shows some under-estimation as compared to the AWS rainfall products from the PR in common area of overlap. A larger database thus would be used in future. To establish a new rain rate algorithm over Korean region based on the present case study.

The Tonle Sap is the richest and diverseness of freshwater ecosystem in Southeast Asia, receiving nurturing water flows from the Mekong and its immediate basin. In addition, the rapid development in the Tonle Sap Lake (TSL) Basin, and flood inundation may threaten the natural diversities and characteristics. The impacts of flood inundation in 11 sub-basins contributing to the Tonle Sap Lake were assessed using the Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model to quantify the potential magnitude and extent of the flooding. The RRI model is set up by using gauged rainfall data to simulate the information of river discharge and flood inundation of huge possible flood events. Moreover, two satellite precipitation products (SPPs), CHIRPS and GSMaP, within respectively spatial resolutions of 0.05° and 0.1°, are utilized as an input for the RRI model to simulate river discharge, flood depth, and flood extent for the great TSL Basin of Cambodia. This study used statistical indicators such as NSE, PBIAS, RSR, and R2 as crucial indices to evaluate the performance of the RRI model. Therefore, the findings of this study could provide promising guidance in hydrological modeling and the significant implications for flood risk management and disaster preparedness in the region.

Conceptual models to analyze both typhoon and Changma using products extracted by the GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK-2A) are suggested in this study. The GK-2A which is scheduled to be launched in 2018 has a high resolution, 16 channels, and 52 products. This means GK-2A is expected to obtain high quality images and products, which can detect severe weather earlier than the Communications, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS). Since there are not enough conceptual models for typhoon and Changma using satellite images and products, our conceptual model can increase both the applicability of satellite data and the accuracy of analysis. In the conceptual model, typhoons are classified as three types by prevailing factors; 1) heavy-rainfall type, 2) wind type, and 3) complex type. For Changma, two types are divided by the characteristics; band type and heavy-rainfall type. Among the high resolution 52 products, each type of typhoon and Changma are selected. In addition, the numerical products and dynamic factors are considered in order to improve conceptual models.

Precipitation is a crucial component of water cycle and play a key role in hydrological processes. Traditionally, gauge-based precipitation is the main method to achieve high accuracy of rainfall estimation, but its distribution is sparsely in mountainous areas. Recently, satellite-based precipitation products (SPPs) provide grid-based precipitation with spatio-temporal variability, but SPPs contain a lot of uncertainty in estimated precipitation, and the spatial resolution quite coarse. To overcome these limitations, this study aims to generate new grid-based daily precipitation using Automatic weather system (AWS) in Korea and multiple SPPs(i.e. CHIRPSv2, CMORPH, GSMaP, TRMMv7) during the period of 2003-2017. And this study used a machine learning based Random Forest (RF) model for generating new merging precipitation. In addition, several statistical linear merging methods are used to compare with the results of the RF model. In order to investigate the efficiency of RF, observed data from 64 observed Automated Synoptic Observation System (ASOS) were collected to evaluate the accuracy of the products through Kling-Gupta efficiency (KGE), probability of detection (POD), false alarm rate (FAR), and critical success index (CSI). As a result, the new precipitation generated through the random forest model showed higher accuracy than each satellite rainfall product and spatio-temporal variability was better reflected than other statistical merging methods. Therefore, a random forest-based ensemble satellite precipitation product can be efficiently used for hydrological simulations in ungauged basins such as the Mekong River.

In case of data transmission using the upper 10GHz frequency, rain results in attenuation of radio waves. And the most serious atmospheric effect in a satellite link is the rainfall. The attenuation of rainfall very seriously affects the quality of transmission line. Because the rain increases thermal noise and interference, and decreases the amplitude of the signal. KOWACO manages the VSAT system instead of VHF network for communication of rain and water-level data from 1998. The purpose of this system is to monitor the change of water-level and rain data during a flood duration. VHF system acquires the data by a call per a hour. But the satellite network obtains the data whenever event data occur. Thus the satellite network is more powerful than the VHF system. In study ...

본 연구에서는 다중위성 강수자료의 수문학적 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA), Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP), Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Morphing technique(CMORPH) 등 전 지구 규모의 고해상도 다중위성 강수자료와 분포형 수문모형을 이용하여 유출모의를 수행하였다. 충주댐 유역에 대하여 2002년 1월 1일부터 2009년 12월 31일까지의 기간에 대하여 Coupled Routing and Excess Storage (CREST) 모형을 적용하였다. 분석기간은 준비기간(2002-2003년, 2006-2007년), 보정기간(2004-2005년), 그리고 검증기간(2008-2009년)으로 구분하여 모의를 수행하였다. 각 다중위성 강수자료를 지상관측자료와 비교결과, 강수의 계절적 변동특성은 잘 반영하고 있으나 연강수량합계 및 월평균강수량에서 TMPA는 과대추정을, GSMaP과 CMORPH는 과소추정하는 경향을 보여주었다. 또한 유출분석결과, TMPA를 제외한 GSMaP과 CMORPH의 충주댐 유역에 대한 수문학적 적용성이 매우 낮은 것을 알 수 있었으며, 향후 다중위성 강수자료의 활용에 앞서 통계적 보정이나 강수알고리즘에 대한 개선이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

열대 강우 관측 위성(TRMM: Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission)에서 관측된 자료가 한반도에서 발생한 호우 특성을 얼마나 잘 나타내 주는지를 알아보기 위하여 1998년과 1999년 여름철 호우 사례에 대해 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 집중 호우를 동반한 비 구름대의 높이, 강수형태, 비 구름의 수직 분포 및 수평 단면도 상의 강우 분포를 조사하였으며, TRMM/PR 관측 강우 강도와 지상에서 관측된 자동기상관측 장비(AWS: Automatic Weather System)에서 관측된 값을 비교하였다. GMS-5 IR1과 AWS 지상관측 자료와 비교해 볼 때, TRMM/PR 관측자료는 기존의 자료로는 알 수 없는 강수 형태, 비 구름대의 높이 등에 대한 정보를 쉽게 제공해 주었으며 특히 비 구름대 내부에서의 강우강도 분포와 연직 발달 정도를 잘 묘사했다. 또한 위도-경도별 강우강도의 단면분포에서는 지형 효과에 의한 강우 특성도 알 수 있었다. TRMM/PR 관측 강우강도 값은 AWS 관측치에 비해 6 mm/hr 이하에서 더 많이 관측되었으며, 전체적으로는 지상 관측에 비해 적게 관측되는 경향을 보였다.

But, it has difficult for obtaining good performance because of the rainfall attenuation. Thus, in this paper, we introduced the efficiency plan of the transmission power control for Mini-Hub Station.

The rainfall estimates give sufficiently accurate information to map areas which have received the minimum rainfall necessary for outbreaks of pests such as locusts, thus cutting down the cost of searching for likely outbreak sites. At the other end of the scale, satellite rainfall estimates can be used to give timely warnings of changes in river levels and the likelihood of floods in large river catchments.(omitted)
