RISEstimate of Precipitation from the Dual-Beam Airborne Radars in TOGA COARE. Part II: Precipitation Efficiency in the 9 February 1993 MCS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dual-beam airborne Doppler radars are commonly used in convection experiments for their ability to describe the dynamical structure of weather systems. However, instrumental limitations impose the use of wavelengths such ...
The Response of the Southern Hemisphere Middle Atmosphere to the Madden–Julian Oscillation during Austral Winter Using the Specified-Dynamics Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUsing the specified-dynamics (SD) Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (SD-WACCM), the effects of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) on the midwinter stratosphere and mesosphere in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) ...
Tests of Rain Profiling Algorithms for a Spaceborne Radar Using Raincell Models and Real Data Precipitation Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper compares the performances of several algorithms for profiling the rain rate from a spaceborne radar. Three techniques are considered: single frequency (or SF) at 13.8, or 24 GHz; dual frequency (or DF) at 13.8 ...
The Concept of “Normalized” Distribution to Describe Raindrop Spectra: A Tool for Cloud Physics and Cloud Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The shape of the drop size distribution (DSD) reflects the physics of rain. The DSD is the result of the microphysical processes that transform the condensed water into rain. The question of the DSD is also central in radar ...
Southern Hemisphere Summer Mesopause Responses to El Niño–Southern Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n the Southern Hemisphere (SH) polar region, satellite observations reveal a significant upper-mesosphere cooling and a lower-thermosphere warming during warm ENSO events in December. An opposite pattern is observed in the ...
