“…Results proved good enough to distinguish sea ice, dry snow, flooded land, rain, dry land and open water (see Figure 9). Earlier work by Rao (1984) had suggested that at surface temperatures below 15°C the technique would break down: however, the work by Ferraro et al (1986) had been for a North American winter climate.…”

This paper reviews progress made in rainfall estimation by satellite methods over the last two decades. The potential role of passive microwave imagery from satellites is discussed, the instrumental systems used to make microwave observations from space are described, and the limitations of the data provided by them are reviewed. The basic principles which govern rainfall assessment using passive microwave observations are examined, and the fundamental differences between the operation of these principles over land and sea are summarised. Finally, there is discussion of the present possibilities for the monitoring of rainfall simultaneously over both land and oceans.
