Description:The primary signal used in all current passive microwave precipitation retrieval algorithms over land is the depression of the instantaneous brightness temperature (TB) caused by ice scattering. This study presents a new methodology to retrieve instantaneous precipitation rate over land by using TB temporal variation (ΔTB) at 19 GHz, which primarily reflects the surface emissivity variation due to the precipitation impact.
