Abstract: eep convective updrafts often penetrate through the surrounding cirrus anvil and into the lower stratosphere. Cross-tropopause transport of ice, water vapor, and chemicals occurs within these ?overshooting tops? (OTs) along ...

Abstract: This study investigates the assignment of pressure heights to satellite-derived atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs), commonly known as cloud-drift and water vapor?motion winds. Large volumes of multispectral AMV datasets are ...

Abstract: This study demonstrates methods to obtain high-density, satellite-derived atmospheric motion vectors (AMV) that contain both synoptic-scale and mesoscale flow components associated with and induced by cumuliform clouds ...

Abstract: This study identifies the precursor signals of convective initiation within sequences of 1-km-resolution visible (VIS) and 4?8-km infrared (IR) imagery from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) ...

Abstract: xpansive cirrus clouds present above the anvils of extratropical convection have been observed in satellite and aircraft-based imagery for several decades. Despite knowledge of their occurrence, the precise mechanisms and ...

Abstract: ssigning accurate heights to convective cloud tops that penetrate into the upper troposphere?lower stratosphere (UTLS) region using infrared (IR) satellite imagery has been an unresolved issue for the satellite research ...

Abstract: wo satellite infrared-based overshooting convective cloud-top (OT) detection methods have recently been described in the literature: 1) the 11-?m infrared window channel texture (IRW texture) method, which uses IRW channel ...

Abstract: tudies have found that convective storms with overshooting-top (OT) signatures in weather satellite imagery are often associated with hazardous weather, such as heavy rainfall, tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail. ...

Abstract: Geostationary satellite-derived atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) have been used over several decades in a wide variety of meteorological applications. The ever-increasing horizontal and vertical resolution of numerical ...

Abstract: Deep convective storms with overshooting tops (OTs) are capable of producing hazardous weather conditions such as aviation turbulence, frequent lightning, heavy rainfall, large hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes. This paper ...
