RISEvidence for Low-Frequency Waves of Tropical Rainfall Inferred from Microwave Brightness Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Evidence for the 30?60-day oscillation was found in the rainfall data that were retrieved from Special Sensor Microwave/Imager brightness temperatures from January to December 1989. Spectral analysis of daily rainfall ...
Combined Radiation-Evaporation Model of a Liquid Droplet Layer in Space
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Assuming that the droplet layer is a uniform medium, an evaporation intensity analogous to radiation intensity was defined based on an analysis of vapor molecule transfer characteristics in the ...
Separation of Convective and Stratiform Precipitation Using Microwave Brightness Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a new scheme that classifies convective and stratiform (C/S) precipitation areas over oceans using microwave brightness temperature. In this scheme, data are first screened to eliminate nonraining pixels. ...
Study of Arch and Beam Rigidity of Long-Span V-Shaped Rigid Frame Composite Arch Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At first, we proposed the concept of nominal rigidity of a long-span V-shaped rigid frame composite arch bridge, analyzed the effects of structural parameters on nominal rigidity, and derived a theoretical nominal rigidity ...
Combined Use of the Radar and Radiometer of TRMM to Estimate the Influence of Drop Size Distribution on Rain Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A combination of passive microwave and radar observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite is used to investigate the consistency between the two sensors. Rather than relying on some absolute ...
A Texture-Polarization Method for Estimating Convective–Stratiform Precipitation Area Coverage from Passive Microwave Radiometer Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observational and modeling studies have revealed the relationships between convective?stratiform rain proportion and the vertical distributions of vertical motion, latent heating, and moistening in mesoscale convective ...
Estimation of Monthly Rainfall over Oceans from Truncated Rain-Rate Samples: Application to SSM/I Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A physical?statistical monthly rainfall retrieval algorithm has been developed using multichannel brightness temperatures from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I). Since an emission-based retrieval algorithm gives ...
Atmospheric Latent Heating Distributions in the Tropics Derived from Satellite Passive Microwave Radiometer Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for the remote sensing of three-dimensional latent heating distributions in precipitating tropical weather systems from satellite passive microwave observations is presented. In this method, cloud model simulated ...
Microwave Brightness Temperatures from Tilted Convective Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft and ground-based radar data from the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment show that convective systems are not always vertical. Instead, many are tilted from vertical. ...
A Melting-Layer Model for Passive/Active Microwave Remote Sensing Applications. Part II: Simulation of TRMM Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The one-dimensional, steady-state melting-layer model developed in Part I of this study is used to calculate both the microphysical and radiative properties of melting precipitation, based upon the computed concentrations ...
