Most observations of clouds and precipitation are accomplished by remote sensing, including radar, lidar, and passive microwave sensing. The student of cloud dynamics needs to know the rudiments of the theory of these techniques, and this chapter provides that background. Topics covered include passive microwave rain retrieval, Doppler radar basics, polarimetric radar basics, rain measurement by radar, and thermodynamic and microphysical retrieval from Doppler radar analysis. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
