The Influence of Terrain on the Tropical Rainfall Potential Technique in Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tropical rainfall potential (TRaP) technique is a simple concept that serves as a useful tool for forecasters in predicting the accumulated rainfall from typhoons. This research seeks to propose an algorithm for improving ...
Estimation of the Upper-Layer Rotation and Maximum Wind Speed of Tropical Cyclones via Satellite Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The movement of convective rainbands embedded in a tropical cyclone (TC) is usually derived from satellite images via the atmospheric motion vector (AMV) method or through the calculation of a radar?s echo track. In ...
Rainfall Intensity Estimation by Ground-Based Dual-Frequency Microwave Radiometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many investigators have used satellite data to derive rainfall intensity and to compare them with rain gauge data. However, there has always been a problem: what is the optimal time period for the two different types of ...
