RISThe Next-Generation Goddard Convective–Stratiform Heating Algorithm: New Tropical and Warm-Season Retrievals for GPM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Goddard convective?stratiform heating (CSH) algorithm, used to estimate cloud heating in support of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), is upgraded in support of the Global Precipitation Measurement ...
Reducing the Biases in Simulated Radar Reflectivities from a Bulk Microphysics Scheme: Tropical Convective Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: well-known bias common to many bulk microphysics schemes currently being used in cloud-resolving models is the tendency to produce excessively large reflectivity values (e.g., 40 dBZ) in the middle and upper troposphere ...
Relating Convective and Stratiform Rain to Latent Heating
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship among surface rainfall, its intensity, and its associated stratiform amount is established by examining observed precipitation data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar ...
Evaluation of Long-Term Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations Using Satellite Radiance Observations and Multifrequency Satellite Simulators
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper proposes a methodology known as the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Triple-Sensor Three-Step Evaluation Framework (T3EF) for the systematic evaluation of precipitating cloud types and microphysics in ...
On the Land–Ocean Contrast of Tropical Convection and Microphysics Statistics Derived from TRMM Satellite Signals and Global Storm-Resolving Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 14-yr climatology of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) collocated multisensor signal statistics reveals a distinct land?ocean contrast as well as geographical variability of precipitation type, intensity, and ...
A Mesoscale Gravity-Wave Event Observed during CCOPE. Part IV: Stability Analysis and Doppler-derived Wave Vertical Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a detailed study from the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE) of the vertical structure of mesoscale gravity waves that disturbed a sizable part of the troposphere ...
Benefits of a Fourth Ice Class in the Simulated Radar Reflectivities of Convective Systems Using a Bulk Microphysics Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urrent cloud microphysical schemes used in cloud and mesoscale models range from simple one-moment to multimoment, multiclass to explicit bin schemes. This study details the benefits of adding a fourth ice class (frozen ...
An Algorithm to Estimate the Heating Budget from Vertical Hydrometeor Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple algorithm to estimate the latent heating of cloud systems from their vertical hydrometer profiles is proposed. The derivation as well as the validation of the algorithm is based on output generated by a non-hydrostatic ...
Estimating the Ice Crystal Enhancement Factor in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ice crystal enhancement (IE) factor, defined as the ratio of the ice crystal to ice nuclei (IN) number concentrations for any particular cloud condition, is needed to quantify the contribution of changes in IN to global ...
An Indirect Effect of Ice Nuclei on Atmospheric Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional cloud-resolving model (CRM) with observed large-scale forcing is used to study how ice nuclei (IN) affect the net radiative flux at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). In all the numerical experiments ...
