RISExpanding the Goddard CSH Algorithm for GPM: New Extratropical Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Goddard convective?stratiform heating (CSH) algorithm has been used to retrieve latent heating (LH) associated with clouds and cloud systems in support of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission and Global ...
Modeling of Convective–Stratiform Precipitation Processes: Sensitivity to Partitioning Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six different convective?stratiform separation techniques are compared and evaluated using 2D numerical simulations of a tropical and a midlatitude continental squall line. The techniques used include a texture algorithm ...

Mechanisms of Cloud-Radiation Interaction in the Tropics and Midlatitudes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative forcing and latent heat associated with precipitation are the two most important diabatic processes that drive the circulation of the atmosphere. Clouds can affect radiation and vice versa. It is known that ...
Improving Simulations of Convective Systems from TRMM LBA: Easterly and Westerly Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 3D Goddard Cumulus Ensemble model is used to simulate two convective events observed during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Large-Scale Biosphere?Atmosphere (TRMM LBA) experiment in Brazil. These two events ...
Heating, Moisture, and Water Budgets of Tropical and Midlatitude Squall Lines: Comparisons and Sensitivity to Longwave Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional, time-dependent, and nonhydrostatic numerical cloud model is used to estimate the heating (Q1, moisture (Q2), and water budgets in the convective and stratiform regions for a tropical and a midlatitude ...
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). ...
WRF Simulations of the 20–22 January 2007 Snow Events over Eastern Canada: Comparison with In Situ and Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the grand challenges of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is to improve cold-season precipitation measurements in mid- and high latitudes through the use of high-frequency passive microwave radiometry. ...
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 ...
ECMWF Activities for Improved Hurricane Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTropical cyclones are some of the most devastating natural hazards and the ?three beasts??Harvey, Irma, and Maria?during the Atlantic hurricane season 2017 are recent examples. The European Centre for Medium-Range ...
