A Simple Snowfall Retrieval Algorithm for the GPM Dual‐Frequency Precipitation Radar: Development and Validation With OLYMPEX Campaign Observation

Abstract The current operational algorithm for the Ku‐ and Ka‐band Dual‐frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) onboard the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite, which does not effectively utilize Ka‐band radar, underestimates snowfall amount. We developed a dual‐frequency method (DF‐method)...
