RISRadiative and Microphysical Characteristics of Deep Convective Systems in the Tropical Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The radiative and microphysical characteristics of 17 precipitating systems observed by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite over Manus, Papua New Guinea, and Nauru Island are modeled. These cases ...
Factors Limiting Convective Cloud-Top Height at the ARM Nauru Island Climate Research Facility
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cumulus congestus clouds, with moderate shortwave albedos and cloud-top temperatures near freezing, occur fairly often in the Tropics. These clouds may play an important role in the evolution of the Madden?Julian oscillation ...
Diurnal Cloud and Thermodynamic Variations in the Stratocumulus Transition Regime: A Case Study Using In Situ and Remote Sensors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiosonde, in situ, and surface-based remote sensor data from the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment are used to study the diurnal cycle of cloud and thermodynamic structure. A cloud layer and decoupled subcloud ...
Radiative Impacts of Anvil Cloud during the Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study the radiative impact of three separate cirrus anvil systems that occurred during the Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment is investigated. Retrievals of microphysical cloud properties and an independent ...
Evaluation of Power Transmission Lines Hardening Scenarios Using a Machine Learning Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The power transmission infrastructure is vulnerable to extreme weather events, particularly hurricanes and tropical storms. A recent example is the damage caused by Hurricane Maria (H-Maria) in the archipelago of Puerto ...
Investigation of Regional and Seasonal Variations in Marine Boundary Layer Cloud Properties from MODIS Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To aid in understanding the role that marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds play in climate and assist in improving their representations in general circulation models (GCMs), their long-term microphysical and macroscale ...
A Summary of Precipitation Characteristics from the 2006–11 Northern Australian Wet Seasons as Revealed by ARM Disdrometer Research Facilities (Darwin, Australia)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he variability of rainfall and drop size distributions (DSDs) as a function of large-scale atmospheric conditions and storm characteristics is investigated using measurements from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement ...
Relating Satellite-Observed Cloud Properties from MODIS to Meteorological Conditions for Marine Boundary Layer Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines 6 yr of cloud properties observed by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the NASA Terra satellite in five prominent marine boundary layer (MBL) cloud regions (California, ...
Updraft Constraints on Entrainment: Insights from Amazonian Deep Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMixing of environmental air into clouds, or entrainment, has been identified as a major contributor to erroneous climate predictions made by modern comprehensive climate and numerical weather prediction models. ...
