ADVANCED radar technology has long been sought in the development of an earth-observing satellite system for global measurements of precipitation. The key capability of a spaceborne rain radar is that it can recover the vertical profile and structure of precipitation to infer how liquid water and latent heat are transported in the atmosphere. These data on water mass and heat transport, which until recently have not been well characterized, are essential for monitoring weather dynamics and improving the accuracy of weather forecasting models.
