RISRainfall Contributions from Precipitation Systems with Different Sizes, Convective Intensities, and Durations over the Tropics and Subtropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he rainfall contributions from precipitation features (PFs) with full spectra of different sizes and convective intensities over the tropics and subtropics are summarized using 12 yr of version 6 Tropical Rainfall Measuring ...
Differences between the Surface Precipitation Estimates from the TRMM Precipitation Radar and Passive Microwave Radiometer Version 7 Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ith 15 yr of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) observations, the passive microwave radiometers [TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI)] and the precipitation radar (PR) report a close geographical distribution of annual ...
Synoptic Environments and Characteristics of Convection Reaching the Tropopause over Northeast China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractOvershooting convection that penetrates the lapse rate tropopause is defined globally using 3 years of Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) observations and ERA-Interim data. Overshooting convection in the ...
The Relationship between the ITCZ and MJO Initiation over the Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUnderstanding convective initiation of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) remains an unmet challenge. MJO initiation has been perceived as a process starting from a convectively suppressed large-scale condition ...
“Warm Rain” in the Tropics: Seasonal and Regional Distributions Based on 9 yr of TRMM Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: How much precipitation is contributed by warm rain systems over the tropics? What is the typical size, intensity, and echo top of warm rain events observed by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation ...
An Investigation of the Aerosol Indirect Effect on Convective Intensity Using Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he effect of the environment on individual clouds makes it difficult to isolate the signal of the aerosol indirect effect, particularly at larger spatial and temporal scales. This study uses observations from the Tropical ...
Relationships between Large Precipitating Systems and Atmospheric Factors at a Grid Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, TRMM-observed precipitation in the tropics is decomposed according to the horizontal area of radar precipitation features, with special emphasis on large systems (rain area > 104 km2) that contribute roughly ...
Rainfall Characteristics and Convective Properties of Mei-Yu Precipitation Systems over South China, Taiwan, and the South China Sea. Part I: TRMM Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rainfall characteristics and mesoscale properties of precipitation systems in mei-yu seasons over South China, Taiwan, and the South China Sea (SCS) during 1998?2007 are investigated in this study. Mei-yu rainbands are ...
TRMM-Observed Shallow versus Deep Convection in the Eastern Pacific Related to Large-Scale Circulations in Reanalysis Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ver the eastern Pacific, recent studies have shown that a shallow large-scale meridional circulation with its return flow just above the boundary layer coexists with a deep Hadley circulation. This study examines how the ...
A TRMM-Based Tropical Cyclone Cloud and Precipitation Feature Database
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite has provided invaluable data for tropical cyclone (TC) research since December 1997. The challenge, however, is how to analyze and efficiently utilize all of the ...
