Abstract: Anomalies of precipitation, cloud, thermodynamic, and radiation variables are analyzed on the large spatial scale defined by the tropical oceans. In particular, relationships between the mean tropical oceanic precipitation ...

Abstract: revised version of the CloudSat?MODIS cloud liquid water retrieval algorithm is presented. The new algorithm, which combines measurements of radar reflectivity and cloud optical depth, addresses issues discovered in the ...

Abstract: Satellite observations are used to deduce the relationship between cloud water and precipitation water for low-latitude shallow marine clouds. The specific sensors that facilitate the analysis are the collocated CloudSat ...
