A Study of the Characteristics and Assimilation of Retrieved MODIS Total Precipitable Water Data in Severe Weather Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study determined the accuracy and biases associated with retrieved Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) total precipitable water (TPW) data, and it investigated the impact of these data on severe ...
The Use of Ground-Based GPS Precipitable Water Measurements over China to Assess Radiosonde and ERA-Interim Moisture Trends and Errors from 1999 to 2015
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGlobal positioning system (GPS) data from over 260 ground-based permanent stations in China covering the period from 1 March 1999 to 30 April 2015 were used to estimate precipitable water (PW) above each site with ...
Topographic–Thermal Circulations and GPS-Measured Moisture Variability around Mayaguez, Puerto Rico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: o investigate topographic?thermal circulations and the associated moisture variability over western Puerto Rico, field data were collected from 15 to 31 March 2011. Surface meteorological instruments and ground-based GPS ...
National Weather Service Forecasters Use GPS Precipitable Water Vapor for Enhanced Situational Awareness during the Southern California Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uring the North American Monsoon, low-to-midlevel moisture is transported in surges from the Gulf of California and Eastern Pacific Ocean into Mexico and the American Southwest. As rising levels of precipitable water ...
Data Gaps within Atmospheric Rivers over the Northeastern Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A significant data void exists in the lower atmosphere during Atmospheric River (AR) events over the northeastern Pacific. When available, AR Reconnaissance data provide the majority of direct observations within the ...
The Pre-Depression Investigation of Cloud-Systems in the Tropics (PREDICT) Experiment: Scientific Basis, New Analysis Tools, and Some First Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ipal hypotheses of a new model of tropical cyclogenesis, known as the marsupial paradigm, were tested in the context of Atlantic tropical disturbances during the National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored Pre-Depression ...
