RISDiurnal Variation of Summer Rainfall over Taiwan and Its Detection Using TRMM Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A surface-based rainfall monitoring network reveals that summer rainfall over Taiwan exhibits a prominent diurnal variation. In this study, an attempt has been made to detect the diurnal variability of Taiwan rainfall using ...
A Pronounced Continental-Scale Diurnal Mode of the Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A pronounced continental-scale diurnal mode of the Asian summer monsoon is mapped using data from recent satellites Meteosat-5 and TRMM. These datasets were available at high temporal resolutions. A result that stands out ...
A New Technique for Estimation of Surface Latent Heat Fluxes Using Satellite-Based Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly mean surface latent heat fluxes (LHFs) over the global oceans are estimated using bulk formula. LHFs are computed using wind speed (U) from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I), sea surface temperature (SST) ...
Impact of Kalpana-1-Derived Water Vapor Winds on Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The water vapor winds from the operational geostationary Indian National Satellite (INSAT) Kalpana-1 have recently become operational at the Space Applications Centre (SAC). A series of experimental forecasts are attempted ...
An Algorithm for Retrieving Vertical Wind Profiles from Satellite-Observed Winds over the Indian Ocean Using Complex EOF Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With an aim to exploit current satellite observations for determining vertical wind profiles, the authors have carried out a complex empirical orthogonal function (CEOF) analysis of a large number of radiosonde observations ...
A Modified Tracer Selection and Tracking Procedure to Derive Winds Using Water Vapor Imagers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The remotely sensed upper-tropospheric water vapor wind information has been of increasing interest for operational meteorology. A new tracer selection based on a local image anomaly and tracking procedure, itself based ...
Estimation of Atmospheric Motion Vectors from Kalpana-1 Imagers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The estimation of atmospheric motion vectors from infrared and water vapor channels on the geostationary operational Indian National Satellite System Kalpana-1 has been attempted here. An empirical height assignment technique ...
Surface Heat Fluxes over Global Oceans Exclusively from Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new approach is introduced for determining surface latent heat flux (LHF) and sensible heat flux (SHF) over the global oceans exclusively from satellite observations. Measurements of wind speed (U), sea surface temperature ...
Impact of TMI SST on the Simulation of a Heavy Rainfall Episode over Mumbai on 26 July 2005
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study the simulation of a severe rainfall episode over Mumbai on 26 July 2005 has been attempted with two different mesoscale models. The numerical models used in this study are the Brazilian Regional Atmospheric ...
The Impact of Variational Assimilation of SSM/I and QuikSCAT Satellite Observations on the Numerical Simulation of Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) with three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) is utilized to investigate the ...
