Abstract—Accurate global observation of precipitation for all latitudes and seasons, and for all land, sea, and ice surfaces remains an elusive goal. One major obstacle to progress is lack of reliable global ground truth on horizontal and vertical scales consistent with those observed by satellite. For example, radar and scatter-dependent radiometric techniques respond to precipitation aloft, not on the ground, and can be unduly sensitive to large hydrometeors. On the other hand, rain gauges are excessively sensitive to local rainfall inhomogeneities and wind, and well-instrumented sites are rare. This paper quantitatively compares satellite observations with mesoscale numerical weather predictions of microwave brightness temperatures at those millimeter wavelengths most sensitive to hydrometeor structures and to the physics of precipitation. Only such models with high horizontal and vertical resolution allow comparisons of different sensors in detail. A Mesoscale Model, MM5, and a for
STATISTICAL AGREEMENT OF RAY TRACING SIMULATIONS AND CHANNEL SOUNDING MEASUREMENTSStatistical Agreement • January 31st, 2001
A statistical space-time model for indoor wireless propagation based on empirical measurements is compared with results from the deterministic ray-tracing simulation tool WiSE for the same environment. Excellent agreement is found in terms of the dis- tributions of arrival times and angular spread for both modeling approaches. The WiSE package is also use to synthesize MIMO channel matrices and determine the theoretical capacity available in the tested environments. It is found that, for narrowband chan- nels, the spatial clustering of the multipaths limits the capacity gains associated with increased array size.
