RISEOFs of Pseudo-Stress over the Indian Ocean (1977–85)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The method of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis is applied to pseudo-stress vectors over the Indian Ocean from 1977 to 1984. The EOF method is first reviewed, as it provides an easy method for comprehensive study ...
Time Trends of VAS Satellite-derived Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Time tendencies of operationally prepared Visible-Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer (VISSR) Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) retrievals and derived products are evaluated by comparing them against corresponding tendencies from ...
Real-Time Adjustment of Range-Dependent Biases in WSR-88D Rainfall Estimates due to Nonuniform Vertical Profile of Reflectivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A procedure for real-time adjustment of range-dependent biases in Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler version (WSR-88D) rainfall estimates due to nonuniform vertical profile of reflectivity is proposed. Using volume-scan ...
The Use of Volumetric Radar Reflectivity Predictors in the Development of a Second-Generation Severe Weather Potential Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The operational WSR-88D Severe Weather Potential (SWP) algorithm is an automated nowcasting procedure aimed at providing guidance in the detection of severe local storms. It yields a numerical index proportional to the ...
The WSR-88D Rainfall Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed description of the operational WSR-88D rainfall estimation algorithm is presented. This algorithm, called the Precipitation Processing System, produces radar-derived rainfall products in real time for forecasters ...
