An operational evaluation of the Scofield/Oliver technique for estimating precipitation rates from satellite imagery Scofield/Oliver technique for estimating precipitation rates from satellite imagery

A technique for estimating rainfall rate quantitatively from satellite imagery, the Scofield/Oliver technique, was tested in Arizona during the summer of 1978. Although the number of cases is small, some interesting cases illustrating potential weaknesses of the technique in the western United States are discussed and recommendations for eliminating these weaknesses are given.
