The algorithm is tuned and evaluated against coincident observations of the Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) onboard CloudSat. It is composed of three modules for (i) snowfall detection, (ii) supercooled droplet detection and (iii) SWP retrieval. This algorithm takes into account environmental conditions to retrieve SWP and does not rely on any surface classification scheme. The snowfall detection module is able to detect 83% of snowfall events including light SWP (down to 1 \u00d7 10\u22123 kg\u00b7m\u22122) with a false alarm ratio of 0.12. The supercooled detection module detects 97% of events, with a false alarm ratio of 0.05. The SWP estimates show a relative bias of \u221211%, a correlation of 0.84 and a root mean square error of 0.04 kg\u00b7m\u22122. Several applications of the algorithm are highlighted: Three case studies of snowfall events are investigated, and a 2-year high resolution 70\u00b0S\u201370\u00b0N snowfall occurrence distribution is presented. These results illustrate the high potential of this algorithm for snowfall detection and SWP retrieval using GMI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10081278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,14]],"date-time":"2018-08-14T10:31:16Z","timestamp":1534242676000},"page":"1278","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["SLALOM: An All-Surface Snow Water Path Retrieval Algorithm for the GPM Microwave Imager"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Jean-Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Rysman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC)\u2014National Research Council (CNR), 00133 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giulia","family":"Panegrossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC)\u2014National Research Council (CNR), 00133 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7059-1043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"San\u00f2","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC)\u2014National Research Council (CNR), 00133 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Marra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC)\u2014National Research Council (CNR), 00133 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3808-365X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Dietrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC)\u2014National Research Council (CNR), 00133 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0498-1021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa","family":"Milani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Kulie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI 49931, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4545","DOI":"10.1175\/JCLI3850.1","article-title":"Trends in snowfall versus rainfall in the Western United States","volume":"19","author":"Knowles","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
