Multispectral, High-Resolution Satellite Observations of Plumes on Top of Convective Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multispectral, high-resolution imagery from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer of NOAA polar orbiting satellites is used to analyze the cloud-top structure of convective storms that develop a cirrus feature above ...
A Conceptual Model for the Development of Tornadoes in the Complex Orography of the Po Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Cycles and Propagation of Deep Convection over Equatorial Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ong-term statistics of organized convection are vital to improved understanding of the hydrologic cycle at various scales. Satellite observations are used to understand the timing, duration, and frequency of deep convection ...
CONSIDERATIONS ON DAYLIGHT OPERATION OF 1.6-VERSUS 3.7-µm CHANNEL ON NOAA AND METOP SATELLITES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The transition from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)/2 to AVHRR/3 on NOAA polar orbiters was associated with a switching from daylight operations of the 3.7- to 1.6-µm wave band, while retaining 3.7 µm ...
A Neural Networks–Based Fusion Technique to Estimate Half-Hourly Rainfall Estimates at 0.1° Resolution from Satellite Passive Microwave and Infrared Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a new operational procedure to produce half-hourly rainfall estimates at 0.1° spatial resolution. Rainfall is estimated using a neural networks (NN)?based approach utilizing passive ...
Aerosol Characterization and Direct Radiative Forcing Assessment over the Ocean. Part I: Methodology and Sensitivity Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method based on the synergistic use of low earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite data for aerosol-type characterization, as well as aerosol optical thickness (AOT) retrieval and monitoring over ...
Aerosol Characterization and Direct Radiative Forcing Assessment over the Ocean. Part II: Application to Test Cases and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method based on the synergistic use of low earth orbit and geostationary earth orbit satellite data for aerosol-type characterization and aerosol optical thickness (AOT: τa) retrieval and monitoring over the ocean is ...
Satellite and Numerical Model Investigation of Two Heavy Rain Events over the Central Mediterranean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo heavy rain events over the Central Mediterranean basin, which are markedly different by genesis, dimensions, duration, and intensity, are analyzed. Given the relative low frequency of this type of severe storms in the ...
Satellite Estimation of Falling Snow: A Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRetrievals of falling snow from space-based observations represent key inputs for understanding and linking Earth?s atmospheric, hydrological, and energy cycles. This work quantifies and investigates causes of ...
