Evaluation of Coincident Passive Microwave Rainfall Estimates Using TRMM PR and Ground Measurements as References
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study compares instantaneous rainfall estimates provided by the current generation of retrieval algorithms for passive microwave sensors using retrievals from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation ...
Heat and Moisture Budgets and Circulation Characteristics of a Frontal Squall Line
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Heat and moisture budgets and mesoscale circulation features for the developing, mature, and dissipating stages of an intense frontal squall line that occurred in the central United States are investigated. The slow ...
Kinematic and Thermodynamic Characteristics of the Flow over the Western Pacific Warm Pool during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rawinsonde and satellite infrared radiation (IR) data from the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) are used to investigate mean and transient behavior and horizontal ...
Episodic Trade Wind Regimes over the Western Pacific Warm Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The western Pacific warm pool experiences the greatest rainfall of any oceanic region on earth. While the SST is everywhere high over the warm pool, there is great spatial and temporal variability in rainfall. Sounding ...
Heating, Moistening, and Rainfall over the Western Pacific Warm Pool during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rawinsonde, surface, and satellite data collected from the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) are used to investigate the distributions of beating, moistening, ...
Estimation of Rain Intensity Spectra over the Continental United States Using Ground Radar–Gauge Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: high-resolution surface rainfall product is used to estimate rain characteristics over the continental United States as a function of rain intensity. By defining data at 4-km horizontal resolutions and 1-h temporal resolutions ...
Frequency Distribution of Daily ITCZ Patterns over the Western–Central Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study attempts to explore a comprehensive and compact approach for delineating the multiscale and multivariate characteristics of the ITCZ over the western?central Pacific based on daily satellite observations of ...
Variational Assimilation of Global Microwave Rainfall Retrievals: Physical and Dynamical Impact on GEOS Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global microwave rainfall retrievals from a five-satellite constellation, including the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager, Special Sensor Microwave Imager from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program ...
Experimental Investigation on Damage Mechanism of Guar Gum Fracturing Fluid to Low-Permeability Reservoir Based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The damage mechanism of fracturing fluids has always been the hot research topic in the development of low-permeability reservoir with hydraulic fracturing. At present, the research in this area is conducted mostly by the ...
Diurnal Variability of the Hydrologic Cycle and Radiative Fluxes: Comparisons between Observations and a GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The simulated diurnal cycle is in many ways an ideal test bed for new physical parameterizations. The purpose of this paper is to compare observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission, the Earth Radiation ...
