RISGross Moist Stability Analysis: Assessment of Satellite-Based Products in the GMS Plane
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractNew diagnostic applications of the gross moist stability (GMS) are proposed with demonstrations using satellite-based data. The plane of the divergence of column moist static energy (MSE) against the divergence of ...
Gross Moist Stability Assessment during TOGA COARE: Various Interpretations of Gross Moist Stability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aily averaged TOGA COARE data are analyzed to investigate the convective amplification/decay mechanisms. The gross moist stability (GMS), which represents moist static energy (MSE) export efficiency by large-scale circulations ...
Estimating Vertical Motion Profile Top-Heaviness: Reanalysis Compared to Satellite-Based Observations and Stratiform Rain Fraction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method for representing geographic variability in vertical motion profile top-heaviness in reanalysis data is introduced. The results from this method are compared to a satellite-based method for estimating top-heaviness ...
A Simple Model of Climatological Rainfall and Vertical Motion Patterns over the Tropical Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple model is developed that predicts climatological rainfall, vertical motion, and diabatic heating profiles over the tropical oceans given the sea surface temperature (SST), using statistical relationships deduced ...
Estimating Vertical Motion Profile Shape within Tropical Weather States over the Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he vertical structure of tropical deep convection strongly influences interactions with larger-scale circulations and climate. This paper focuses on investigating this vertical structure and its relationship with mesoscale ...
On the Relationship between SST Gradients, Boundary Layer Winds, and Convergence over the Tropical Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A linear mixed layer model that skillfully reproduces observed surface winds and convergence over the tropical oceans is used to examine the relative influence of boundary layer and free-tropospheric processes on the ...
The Relationship between Wind Speed and Precipitation in the Pacific ITCZ
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between wind speed and precipitation in the Pacific ITCZ is analyzed using 4 yr of daily Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) satellite ...
Relationships between Water Vapor Path and Precipitation over the Tropical Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between water vapor path W and surface precipitation rate P over tropical oceanic regions is analyzed using 4 yr of gridded daily SSM/I satellite microwave radiometer data. A tight monthly mean relationship ...
Intensification of Precipitation Extremes with Warming in a Cloud-Resolving Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: cloud-resolving model is used to investigate the effect of warming on high percentiles of precipitation (precipitation extremes) in the idealized setting of radiative-convective equilibrium. While this idealized setting ...
