  • Abstract
    Presents results from comparing space radar and ground radar to cross-calibrate the Kwajalein polarimetric radar (KPOL) with the spaceborne TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR). Use of self-consistency of polarimetric measurements is implemented to check the absolute calibration of KPOL and is checked against the cross-calibration results of PR and KPOL. Differential reflectivity (Zdr) calibration is also done and compared with vertical looking scans through rain.
