Infrared Rainfall Estimation

Infrared Rainfall Estimation is a satellite-based precipitation estimation technique that infers rainfall rates by analyzing the infrared radiation emitted from cloud tops, differentiating itself from other methods through its reliance on cloud-top brightness temperature as a proxy for convective intensity.
