Prithvi-Precip: Integrating Satellite Observations into an Atmospheric AI Foundation Model for Precipitation Forecasting
Simon Pfreundschuh, Christian D. Kummerow, Johannes Schmude +5
Accurate precipitation forecasting remains one of the most challenging problems in weather prediction. While recent AI weather prediction (AIWP) systems have achieved substantial i…
GPROF-IR: An Improved Single-Channel Infrared Precipitation Retrieval for Merged Satellite Precipitation Products
Simon Pfreundschuh, Christian D. Kummerow, Jackson Tan +1
Current merged precipitation products such as IMERG, GSMAP, and CMORPH combine satellite estimates from passive microwave (PMW) and infrared (IR) observations. However, the differe…
Bridging the Sensitivity Gap in Precipitation Estimates from Spaceborne Radars using Passive Microwave Observations
Simon Pfreundschuh, Christian D. Kummerow
Current global precipitation estimates from spaceborne precipitation radars are limited by their sensitivity to light and frozen precipitation, leading to systematic underestimatio…
Quantifying the Effect of a Parallax Correcting Algorithm for Passive Microwave Satellite Precipitation Retrievals across the Continental United States
Andres F. Monsalve, Hernan A. Moreno, Eric Goldenstern +1
Satellite precipitation retrieval algorithms whose measurement instruments are tilted to the zenith line are subject to a spatial mismatch between the theoretical ground coordinate…
A Benchmark Dataset for Satellite-Based Estimation and Detection of Rain
Simon Pfreundschuh, Malarvizhi Arulraj, Ali Behrangi +17
Accurately tracking the global distribution and evolution of precipitation is essential for both research and operational meteorology. Satellite observations remain the only means…
