             abstract = "Since sixties when the Earth started to be observed by 
                         meteorological satellites, algorithms, most of them using visible 
                         and infrared techniques, started to be developed as an attempt do 
                         get better observations in regions where no satisfactory 
                         observations were made from Earth. In the last two decades, 
                         microwave algorithms started to be an alternative way of getting 
                         precipitation information from space. In this work two microwave 
                         based algorithms, NESDIS, proposed by Ferraro et al. (1994) and 
                         Ferraro and Marks (1995) and GSCAT (Goddard Scattering Algorithm), 
                         proposed by Adler et al. (1991) and Negri et al. (1994), were used 
                         in order to estimate rainfall over the region covered by the 
                         meteorological Radar in Bauru S{\~a}o Paulo. Both algorithms use 
                         data provided by SSM/I. Results suggest that these algorithms 
                         overestimate the detected radar rainfall. The qualitative 
                         estimates are quite reasonable, but much effort has to be done to 
                         get better quantitative estimates.",
