RISThe Diurnal Variation of Large-Scale Inferred Rainfall over the Tropical Pacific Ocean during August 1979
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Average diurnal variation of satellite-inferred rainfall for August 1979 was examined for five 15° longitudinal slices of the tropical Pacific Ocean. Over each area, averages were computed for each hour of the day over 30 ...
Lower-Tropospheric Precursors to Nocturnal MCS Development over the Central United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Composite analyses are examined to identify signals in the late afternoon surface and lower-tropospheric environments that indicate the expected location and degree of nocturnal mesoscale convective system (MCS) development ...
Multiscale Analysis of a Mature Mesoscale Convective Complex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multiscale analysis reveals diverse atmospheric structure and processes within a mesoscale convective complex (MCC) observed during the Oklahoma-Kansas Preliminary Regional Experiment for STORM-Central (PRE-STORM) ...
The Use of Wind Profilers in a Mesoscale Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During May and June of 1985, an experiment to study mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) was carried out in central Kansas and Oklahoma, using many of the latest measurement technologies in the atmospheric sciences. Among ...
Mesoscale Convective Complexes over the United States during 1986 and 1987
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared imagery from GOES was used to document mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) over the United States during 1986 and 1987. A near-record 58 MCCs occurred in 1986, and 44 occurred in 1987. Although these totals were ...
Mesoscale Convective Complexes over the United States during 1985
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Digital GOES infrared imagery is used to document mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) over the United States during 1985. The introduction of digital imagery to this process, which has been carried out since 1978, has ...
Satellite Rain Estimation in the U.S. High Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A satellite rain-estimation technique, derived in Florida for convective rainfall, was used to estimate areal rainfall in the U.S. High Plains. Raingages in dense and sparse networks provided the verification data. Unadjusted ...
SURFRAD—A National Surface Radiation Budget Network for Atmospheric Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A surface radiation budget observing network (SURFRAD) has been established for the United States to support satellite retrieval validation, modeling, and climate, hydrology, and weather research. The primary measurements ...
An Update on SURFRAD—The GCOS Surface Radiation Budget Network for the Continental United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Surface Radiation budget (SURFRAD) network was developed for the United States in the middle 1990s in response to a growing need for more sophisticated in situ surface radiation measurements to support satellite system ...
Measurement Methods Affect the Observed Global Dimming and Brightening
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urface incident solar radiation G determines our climate and environment, and has been widely observed with a single pyranometer since the late 1950s. Such observations have suggested a widespread decrease between the 1950s ...
