Typhoon Maria Precipitation Retrieval and Evolution Based on the Infrared Brightness Temperature of the Feng-Yun 4A/Advanced Geosynchronous Radiation Imager by Gen Wang, Kefu Wang, Wei Han, Dongyong Wang, Xuexing Qiu

“…Based on the preliminary experimental “quantification” evaluation index, we concluded that the method adopted in this paper can be used to retrieve precipitation in infrared data and to retrieve the spiral cloud rain bands of a typhoon. Finally, based on the AGRI channel brightness temperature of a 10.8-micron window channel, we applied the membership degree information of a typhoon’s dominant cloud system from the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering method to modify precipitation retrieval results. …”
