RISA New Method for Developing Cloud Specification Schemes in General Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the present paper, we review a new method for relating cloud observations to large-scale variables of general circulation models. The method is based on an application of the cluster analysis to synoptic analyses Of ...
Distortion Representation of Forecast Errors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Forecast error is decomposed into three components, termed displacement error, amplitude error, mid residual error, respectively. Displacement error measures how much of the forecast error can be accounted for by moving ...
Development and Application of a Visible–Infrared Rain Flag for Scatterometer Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors report on characteristics of a rain flag derived from collocation of visible and infrared image data with rain rates over the North Atlantic Ocean obtained from microwave imagery (SSM/I) during a 3-week period ...
Assessment of the Impact of Simulated Satellite Lidar Wind and Retrieved 183 GHz Water Vapor Observations on a Global Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of observing system simulation experiments (0SSEs) was conducted to assess the impacts on the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory (GL) global data assimilation system (GDAS) of a satellite Doppler wind lidar sounding ...
Analysis and Forecast Improvements from Simulated Satellite Water Vapor Profiles and Rainfall Using a Global Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential improvements of analyses and forecasts from the use of satellite-observed rainfall and water vapor measurements from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Special Sensor Microwave (SSM) T-1 and T-2 ...
