RISA Self-Calibrating Real-Time GOES Rainfall Algorithm for Short-Term Rainfall Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Estimates of precipitation from satellite data can provide timely information about rainfall in regions for which data from rain gauge networks are sparse or unavailable entirely and for which radar data are unavailable ...
Impact of TRMM Data on a Low-Latency, High-Resolution Precipitation Algorithm for Flash-Flood Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) have made great contributions to hydrometeorology from both a science and an operations standpoint. However, direct application of TRMM data to short-fuse hydrologic ...
Orographic Effects during a Severe Wintertime Rainstorm in the Appalachian Mountains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of precipitation features during a severe wintertime rainfall and flooding event associated with a cold front that crossed the central Appalachians on 19 January 1996 is illustrated through the analysis of ...
Experiments in Short-Term Precipitation Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate, timely, site-specific forecasts of precipitation are important for accurately predicting streamflow and flash floods in small drainage basins. However, presently available numerical weather prediction models do ...
Blending Multiresolution Satellite Data with Application to the Initialization of an Orographic Precipitation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of multisensor, multifrequency satellite data to specify initial conditions for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models offers a unique opportunity to improve the depiction of small-scale processes in the atmosphere ...
Localized Precipitation Forecasts from a Numerical Weather Prediction Model Using Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although the resolution of numerical weather prediction models continues to improve, many of the processes that influence precipitation are still not captured adequately by the scales of present operational models, and ...
Status and Outlook of Operational Satellite Precipitation Algorithms for Extreme-Precipitation Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Flash floods are among the most devastating natural weather hazards in the United States, causing an average of more than 225 deaths and $4 billion in property damage annually. As a result, prediction of flash floods in ...
Combined IR–Microwave Satellite Retrieval of Temperature and Dewpoint Profiles Using Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiance measurements from satellites offer the opportunity to retrieve atmospheric variables at much higher spatial resolution than is presently afforded by in situ measurements (e.g., radiosondes). However, the accuracy ...
Precipitation Efficiency of Warm-Season Midwestern Mesoscale Convective Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The precipitation efficiencies for mesoscale convective systems (MCS) over the central United States are calculated. During July?September 2000 and June?September 2001, 24 MCS for which sufficient data were available ...
Evaluation of GFDL and Simple Statistical Model Rainfall Forecasts for U.S. Landfalling Tropical Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To date, little objective verification has been performed for rainfall predictions from numerical forecasts of landfalling tropical cyclones. Until 2001, digital output from the operational version of the Geophysical Fluid ...
