title = "Improved physically-based AMSR-E oceanic rainfall algorithm",
abstract = "The present AMSR-E Level-3 oceanic rain algorithm does not provide an error estimate and has several other shortcomings. We are developing an improved algorithm that will be less sensitive to calibration uncertainty and will provide an error estimate. The error is dominated by calibration error at low rain rates and variability of the drop size distribution at high rain rates. The calibration uncertainty contribution will be greatly reduced by the zero rain rate determination included at Level-3.",
