RISA Combined Multisensor Optimal Estimation Retrieval Algorithm for Oceanic Warm Rain Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The complicated interactions between cloud processes in the tropical hydrologic cycle and their responses to changes in environmental variables have been the focus of many recent investigations. Most studies that examine ...
On the Consequences of Resampling Microwave Radiometer Observations for Use in Retrieval Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: How to deal with the different spatial resolutions of multifrequency satellite microwave radiometer measurements is a common problem in retrievals of cloud properties and rainfall. Data convolution and deconvolution is a ...
Constraining Microwave Brightness Temperatures by Radar Brightband Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multichannel microwave sensors make it possible to construct physically based rainfall retrieval algorithms. In these schemes, errors arising from the inaccuracy of the physical modeling of the cloud system under observation ...
Combined Cloud–Microwave Radiative Transfer Modeling of Stratiform Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The simulation of explicit particle spectra during cloud evolution by a two-dimensional spectral cloud model was used to investigate the response of microwave radiative transfer to particle spectra development with special ...
Retrieved Vertical Profiles of Latent Heat Release Using TRMM Rainfall Products for February 1998
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper represents the first attempt to use Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) rainfall information to estimate the four-dimensional latent heating structure over the global Tropics for one month (February 1998). ...
meeting summary : Summary of a Symposium on Cloud Systems, Hurricanes, and TRMM: Celebration of Dr. Joanne Simpson's Career—The First Fifty Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A symposium celebrating the first fifty years of Dr. Joanne Simpson's career took place at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center 1?3 December 1999. This symposium consisted of presentations that focused on historical and ...
The Status of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) after Two Years in Orbit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite was launched on 27 November 1997, and data from all the instruments first became available approximately 30 days after the launch. Since then, much progress has been ...
Retrieval of Latent Heating from TRMM Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rainfall is a fundamental process within the Earth's hydrological cycle because it represents a principal forcing term in surface water budgets, while its energetics corollary, latent heating, is the principal source of ...
Results of WetNet PIP-2 Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The second WetNet Precipitation Intercomparison Project (PIP-2) evaluates the performance of 20 satellite precipitation retrieval algorithms, implemented for application with Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) passive ...
