Abstract: A method of radar scan is proposed to efficiently acquire scalar velocity components and generate a natural coordinate system which simplifies and minimizes spatial filtering requirements for certain applications. Tetrahedral ...

Abstract: ased upon on the findings of Y. Li and R. E. Carbone, the association of tropical rainfall with SST structure is further explored, with emphasis on the MJO passband. Analyses include the tropical Indian Ocean, Maritime ...

Abstract: his work focuses on the seaward propagation of coastal precipitation with and without mountainous terrain nearby. Offshore of India, diurnal propagation of precipitation is observed over the Bay of Bengal. On the eastern ...

Abstract: he authors have examined 4 years of satellite-derived SST and rainfall data in anticipation of a relationship between SST structure and the excitation of convective rainfall. The results exhibit a strong excitation signal ...

Abstract: Society invests considerable resources into the science and technology of weather services. In order to effectively assess the market for weather services, and thus properly scale the level of resources that, for example, ...

Abstract: The diurnal occurrence of warm-season rainfall over the U.S. mainland is examined, particularly in light of forcings at multiple scales. The analysis is based on a radar dataset of 12-seasons duration covering the U.S. ...

Abstract: Warm-season quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) are the poorest performance area of forecast systems worldwide. They stubbornly fall further behind while other aspects of weather prediction steadily improve. Unless ...

Abstract: Snow generating cells were observed by vertically pointing Doppler radar. Analysis was carried out in three distinct regions. The region exhibiting cellular structure was found to consist of convective elements with vertical ...

Abstract: Warm season cold cloud-top climatology in the Austral?Indonesian region is examined for evidence of propagating modes of precipitation that originate from elevated heat sources and the diurnal heating cycle. Using ...

Abstract: Airborne optical spectrometer measurements of raindrop spectra were performed in Texas together with 10 and 3 cm radar observations. The observations reveal large drop spectra emanating from cloud base with low concentrations ...
