Using High-Resolution Numerical Weather Forecasts to Improve Remotely Sensed Rainfall Estimates: The Case of the 2013 Colorado Flash Flood
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he September 2013 flash flood?triggering rainfall event in Colorado highlighted the strong underestimation of remote sensing techniques over mountainous terrain. In this work, the use of high-resolution rainfall forecasts ...
Physically Based Satellite Retrieval of Precipitation Using a 3D Passive Microwave Radiative Transfer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A precipitation retrieval algorithm based on the application of a 3D radiative transfer model to a hybrid physical-stochastic 3D cloud model is described. The cloud model uses a statistical rainfall clustering scheme to ...
A Case Study on Power Outage Impacts from Future Hurricane Sandy Scenarios
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractHurricane Sandy (2012, referred to as Current Sandy) was among the most devastating storms to impact Connecticut?s overhead electric distribution network, resulting in over 15 000 outage locations that affected ...
