RISCloudSat Observes a Labrador Sea Polar Low
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: olar lows generate hazardous weather conditions in the Arctic, and satellites have played a key role in understanding their genesis and dynamics. For the first time, an overpass of the CloudSat 94-GHz cloud radar over a ...
The Distribution of Rainfall over Oceans from Spaceborne Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A combination of rainfall estimates from the 13.8-GHz Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) and the 94-GHz CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) is used to assess the distribution of rainfall ...
An Evaluation of Rainfall Frequency and Intensity over the Australian Region in a Global Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observed regional rainfall characteristics can be analyzed by examining both the frequency and intensity of different categories of rainfall. A complementary approach is to consider rainfall characteristics associated with ...

A Comparison of Precipitation Occurrence from the NCEP Stage IV QPE Product and the CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecause of its extensive quality control procedures and uniform space?time grid, the NCEP Stage IV merged Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) radar and surface rain gauge dataset is often considered to be the ...
CloudSat Precipitation Profiling Algorithm—Model Description
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Identifying and quantifying the intensity of light precipitation at global scales is still a difficult problem for most of the remote sensing algorithms in use today. The variety of techniques and algorithms employed for ...
The Structure of Low-Altitude Clouds over the Southern Ocean as Seen by CloudSat
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: climatology of the structure of the low-altitude cloud field (tops below 4 km) over the Southern Ocean (40°?65°S) in the vicinity of Australia (100°?160°E) has been constructed with CloudSat products for liquid water and ...
The Evolution of Morning Convective Systems over the U.S. Great Plains during the Warm Season. Part II: A Climatology and the Influence of Environmental Factors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale convective systems that affect a limited area within the southern plains of the United States during late morning hours during the warm season are investigated. A climatological study over a 5-yr period documents ...
Major Characteristics of Southern Ocean Cloud Regimes and Their Effects on the Energy Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: louds over the Southern Ocean are often poorly represented by climate models, but they make a significant contribution to the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation balance, particularly in the shortwave portion of the energy ...
A Hybrid Cloud Regime Methodology Used to Evaluate Southern Ocean Cloud and Shortwave Radiation Errors in ACCESS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: deficit of shortwave cloud forcing over the Southern Ocean is persistent in many global climate models. Cloud regimes have been widely used in model evaluation studies to make a process-oriented diagnosis of cloud ...
