RISRoles of the Atmospheric Heat Sources in Maintaining the Subtropical Convergence Zones: An Aqua-Planet GCM Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The subtropical convergence zones (STCZs), that is, the Baiu frontal zone and subtropical portions of the South Pacific and South Atlantic convergence zones, are unique subtropical rainfall systems connected to the tropical ...
Detectability and Configuration of Tropical Cyclone Eyes over the Western North Pacific in TRMM PR and IR Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Statistics for 138 cases from 61 tropical cyclones over the western North Pacific during the five years from 1998 to 2002 were used to determine the detectability and configuration of tropical cyclone (TC) eyes and to ...
Roles of the Brazilian Plateau in the Formation of the SACZ
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he role of the Brazilian Plateau (BP) in maintaining the South Atlantic convergence zone (SACZ) has been examined by statistical analysis and numerical experiments. Statistical analysis using 27 years of data showed that ...
Climatology of Warm Rain and Associated Latent Heating Derived from TRMM PR Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale distribution of precipitation and latent heating (LH) profiles in the tropics, subtropics, and part of the midlatitudes was studied using a 9-yr dataset derived from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission ...
Lightning Frequency and Microphysical Properties of Precipitating Clouds over the Western North Pacific during Winter as Derived from TRMM Multisensor Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission observations from multiple sensors including precipitation radar, microwave and infrared radiometers, and a lightning sensor were used to describe precipitation, lightning frequency, and ...
