RISRadar Z–RRelationship for Summer Monsoon Storms in Arizona
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radar-based estimates of rainfall rates and accumulations are one of the principal tools used by the National Weather Service (NWS) to identify areas of extreme precipitation that could lead to flooding. Radar-based rainfall ...
Evaluating the Reliability of the U.S. Cooperative Observer Program Precipitation Observations for Extreme Events Analysis Using the LTAR Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The detection and attribution of changes in precipitation characteristics relies on dense networks of rain gauges. In the United States, the COOP network is widely used for such studies even though there are reported ...
Estimating Rainfall Intensities from Weather Radar Data: The Scale-Dependency Problem
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meteorological radar is a remote sensing system that provides rainfall estimations at high spatial and temporal resolutions. The radar-based rainfall intensities (R) are calculated from the observed radar reflectivities ...
Evaluation of Global Precipitation Measurement Rainfall Estimates against Three Dense Gauge Networks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrecipitation profiles from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR; Ku and Ka bands) form part of the a priori database used in the Goddard profiling ...
Assessing Satellite-Based Rainfall Estimates in Semiarid Watersheds Using the USDA-ARS Walnut Gulch Gauge Network and TRMM PR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he rain gauge network associated with the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) in southeastern Arizona provides a unique opportunity for direct comparisons of in situ measurements and satellite-based instantaneous ...
Spatiotemporal Variability of Summer Precipitation in Southeastern Arizona
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) in southeastern Arizona covers ~150 km2 and receives the majority of its annual precipitation from highly variable and intermittent summer storms during the North American ...
