Abstract: As part of a program to estimate rain from satellite observations, and to test the program's assumption that the highest clouds are the brightest, a correlation between cloud height and cloud brightness in the South Florida ...

Abstract: An analysis of 16 days from eight Atlantic storms, two in 1974 and six in 1975, objectively quantified a suspected diurnal oscillation of tropical storm cirrus cloud cover. The oscillation shows a maximum area at approximately ...

Abstract: A satellite rain-estimation technique, derived in Florida for convective rainfall, was used to estimate areal rainfall in the U.S. High Plains. Raingages in dense and sparse networks provided the verification data. Unadjusted ...

Abstract: Quantitative precipitation estimates have been made for the GARP (Global Atmospheric Research Program) Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) from geosynchronous, infrared satellite imagery and a computer-automated technique ...

Abstract: In the mean the Griffith/Woodley rain estimation technique underestimated the radar-measured rain of each of the three phases (a total of 56 days) of GATE, to varying degrees, and the satellite-derived isohyets were generally ...

Abstract: A diagnostic method to estimate rainfall over large space and time scales by the use of geosynchronous visible or infrared satellite imagery has been derived and tested. Based on the finding that arms of active convection ...
