RISKalman Filter–Based CMORPH
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Kalman filter (KF)-based Climate Prediction Center (CPC) morphing technique (CMORPH) algorithm is developed to integrate the passive microwave (PMW) precipitation estimates from low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites and infrared ...
Improved Estimates of Tropical and Subtropical Precipitation Using the GOES Precipitation Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nine years (1986?94) of tropical and subtropical precipitation estimates based on the GOES precipitation index (GPI) are examined. The GPI, based on the results of studies relating fractional coverage of cold cloud to ...
Evaluating the Design of an Earth Radiation Budget Instrument with System Simulations. Part III: CERES-I Diurnal Sampling Error
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accuracy estimates for the broadband CERES-I (Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System Instrument) measurements of daily average radiant exitance are presented. This is a continuation of the authors? earlier CERES sampling ...
Latitudinally and Seasonally Dependent Zenith-Angle Corrections for Geostationary Satellite IR Brightness Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The equivalent brightness temperature Tb recorded by geosynchronous infrared (geo-IR) ?window? channel (10.7?11.5 ?m) satellite sensors is shown to depend on the zenith angle (local angle from the zenith to the satellite ...
Evaluating the Design of an Earth Radiation Budget Instrument with System Simulations. Part II: Minimization of Instantaneous Sampling Errors for CERES-I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Much of the new record of broadband earth radiation budget satellite measurements to be obtained during the late 1990s and early twenty-first century will come from the dual-radiometer Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy ...
A Real–Time Global Half–Hourly Pixel–Resolution Infrared Dataset and Its Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A system has been developed and implemented that merges pixel resolution (~4 km) infrared (IR) satellite data from all available geostationary meteorological satellites into a global (60°N?60°S) product. The resulting ...
Evaluation of the High-Resolution CMORPH Satellite Rainfall Product Using Dense Rain Gauge Observations and Radar-Based Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study focuses on the evaluation of the NOAA?NCEP Climate Prediction Center (CPC) morphing technique (CMORPH) satellite-based rainfall product at fine space?time resolutions (1 h and 8 km). The evaluation was conducted ...
Reprocessed, Bias-Corrected CMORPH Global High-Resolution Precipitation Estimates from 1998
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Morphing technique (CMORPH) satellite precipitation estimates are reprocessed and bias-corrected on an 8kmx8km grid over the globe (60°S-60°N) and in a 30-minute temporal resolution for ...
An Examination of Precipitation in Observations and Model Forecasts during NAME with Emphasis on the Diurnal Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Summertime rainfall over the United States and Mexico is examined and is compared with forecasts from operational numerical prediction models. In particular, the distribution of rainfall amounts is examined and the diurnal ...
CMORPH: A Method that Produces Global Precipitation Estimates from Passive Microwave and Infrared Data at High Spatial and Temporal Resolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new technique is presented in which half-hourly global precipitation estimates derived from passive microwave satellite scans are propagated by motion vectors derived from geostationary satellite infrared data. The Climate ...
