Technique for estimating precipitation areas from satelitte imagery / Laurie Neil, satellite meteorologist.En57-44/84-011E-PDF

"Neil (1984), suggested a scheme for estimating rain areas based on satellite imagery. This technique was predicated upon the continuity equation, and involved the measurement of the change in area of cloud tops over time. It was noted that experimentation must be carried out in order to determine the values of the semi-empirical constants in the governing equation. This technical note will discuss the data collecting procedure, as well as analysis techniques utilized in this investigation. Also, some experimental results obtained through analysis of case studies will be shown."
