Implementation of Quality Control Algorithms for Improved Rain Rate Estimates from Commercial Microwave Links at City Scale
Original language description
In order to utilize the rainfall data from OS sensors, it is necessary to perform quality control (QC) because the devices are neither originally designed for rainfall monitoring nor properly maintained or installed. Therefore, they can be affected by various factors other than rainfall, such as environmental conditions and technical issues. By implementing QC, potential errors and uncertainties in the data can be identified and corrected, and the accuracy and precision of the rainfall estimates can be improved. Previous studies have indicated that performing QC on CML signal level data, which serves as the input for the retrieval algorithms, can improve rainfall retrieval results and rain field reconstruction. In this paper, we investigate the application effects of QC methods applicable to single links (SL) and QC methods relying on neighbouring links (NL) at city scale with high density of CMLs and short correlation lengths. We also investigate the synergy of simultaneously utilizing both QC methods for short time steps of 5 minutes. The findings of this study provide guidance for improving the accuracy of retrieval and rain field reconstruction results.
