In this paper we review the development and application of Doppler radar profilers to precipitation measurement with emphasis on ground validation of satellite precipitation measurements such as are obtained with the TRMM satellite. The principal objective of this research is to develop the capability to obtain height-resolved drop-size spectra from the profiler-observed Doppler velocity and equivalent reflectivity measurements. Profiler measurements can also be used in conjunction with disdrometers to calibrate ground-based measurements of equivalent reflectivity. Two profilers operating near 1 GHz and 3 GHz respectively, were used in conjunction with scanning radars and disdrometers during 1998 in Texas and Florida. In this paper we present preliminary comparisons of profiler, scanning radar and disdrometer observations obtained in Houston, Texas in April 1998
