A Comparison of Cloud and Rainfall Information from Instantaneous Visible and Infrared Scanner and Precipitation Radar Observations over a Frontal Zone in East Asia during June 1998
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The comparison between cloud information and rainfall is studied using infrared and radar data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission. Cloud information from the visible and infrared scanner was compared with rain ...
Passive Microwave Precipitation Retrievals Using TMI during the Baiu Period of 1998. Part I: Algorithm Description and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Baiu front is a subtropical convergence zone that is formed over east Asia in early summer (hereinafter referred to as the Baiu period). In this study, an overocean precipitation retrieval algorithm is developed to ...
Tropical Cyclone Intensity Change and Axisymmetricity Deduced from GSMaP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relationship of tropical cyclone (TC) future intensity change to current intensity and current axisymmetricity deduced from hourly Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) data was investigated. Axisymmetricity ...
Improvement of TMI Rain Retrievals in Mountainous Areas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eavy rainfall associated with shallow orographic rainfall systems has been underestimated by passive microwave radiometer algorithms owing to weak ice scattering signatures. The authors improve the performance of estimates ...
Experimental Assimilation of the GPM Core Observatory DPR Reflectivity Profiles for Typhoon Halong (2014)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pace-based precipitation radar data have been underused in data assimilation studies and operations despite their valuable information on vertically resolved hydrometeor profiles around the globe. The authors developed ...
Sampling Error Damping Method for a Cloud-Resolving Model Using a Dual-Scale Neighboring Ensemble Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n ensemble-based assimilation schemes for cloud-resolving models (CRMs), the precipitation-related variables have serious sampling errors. The purpose of the present study is to examine the sampling error properties and ...
Wakasa Bay: An AMSR Precipitation Validation Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ?Wakasa Bay Experiment? was conducted in order to refine error models for oceanic precipitation from the Advanced Microwave Sounding Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) measurements and to develop algorithms for ...
Mesoscale Hybrid Data Assimilation System based on JMA Nonhydrostatic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper discusses the benefits of using a hybrid ensemble Kalman filter and four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation (DA) system rather than a 4D-Var system employing the National Meteorological Center ...
Further Improvements to the Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme Using Tropical Cyclone Rainfall and Structural Features
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme (SHIPS) is a multiple regression model for forecasting tropical cyclone (TC) intensity [both central pressure (Pmin) and maximum wind speed (Vmax)]. To further ...
Improvement of High-Resolution Satellite Rainfall Product for Typhoon Morakot (2009) over Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he 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 ...
