RISWind Extraction from Meteosat Water Vapor Channel Image Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind extraction from successive Meteostat water vapor channel (WVC) images has been performed in an operational environment at the European Space Operation Centre for several months. Motions are computed with a cross-correlation ...
The Convective System Area Expansion over Amazonia and Its Relationships with Convective System Life Duration and High-Level Wind Divergence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationships between the initial area expansion rate of tropical convective systems and their total life duration are analyzed during the period of the Wet Season Amazon Mesoscale Campaign/Large-Scale Biosphere?Atmosphere ...
Mesoscale Convective System Rainfall in the Sahel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on a full-resolution Meteosat dataset, an extensive climatological study of the mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) observed by satellite over the Sahel leads to the definition of a subpopulation of MCSs?called ...
Tropical Atlantic Moisture Flux, Convection over Northeastern Brazil, and Pertinence of the PIRATA Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study aims to examine the relationship between the tropical Atlantic latent heat flux and convective cloud coverage over northeast Brazil (NEB) during the four months of the main rainy season (February?May). The ...
Forecast and Tracking the Evolution of Cloud Clusters (ForTraCC) Using Satellite Infrared Imagery: Methodology and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop and validate an algorithm for tracking and forecasting radiative and morphological characteristics of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) through their entire life cycles using ...
