Abstract	The authors improve the high-resolution Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) product for Typhoon Morakot (2009) over Taiwan by using an orographic/nonorographic rainfall classification scheme. For the estimation of the orographically forced upward motion used in the orographic/nonorographic rainfall classification scheme, the optimal horizontal length scale for averaging the elevation data is examined and found to be about 50km. It is inferred that as the air ascends en masse on the horizontal scale, it becomes unstableandconvectiondevelops.Theorographic/nonorographic rainfallclassification schemeis extendedto the GSMaP algorithm for all passive microwave radiometers in orbit, including not just microwave imagers butalsomicrowavesounders. Theretrievedrainfallrates,togetherwithinfraredimages,areusedforthehighresolution rainfall products, which leads to much better agreement with rain gauge observations.
