Characterizing Tropical Cirrus Life Cycle, Evolution, and Interaction with Upper-Tropospheric Water Vapor Using Lagrangian Trajectory Analysis of Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cirrus evolution and its relation to upper-tropospheric water vapor (UTWV) are examined in the paper by analyzing satellite-derived cloud data, UTWV data from infrared and microwave measurements, and the NCEP?NCAR ...
Strong Coupling in Diurnal Variations of Clouds, Radiation, Winds, and Precipitation during the East Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Ten Years of Measurements of Tropical Upper-Tropospheric Water Vapor by MOZAIC. Part II: Assessing the ECMWF Humidity Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a recent publication (Part I), the authors introduced a data source?Measurement of Ozone and Water Vapor by Airbus In-Service Aircraft (MOZAIC)?for monitoring and studying upper-tropospheric water vapor (UTWV) and ...
Comparison of Rainfall Characteristics and Convective Properties of Monsoon Precipitation Systems over South China and the Yangtze and Huai River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ainfall characteristics and convective properties of monsoon precipitation systems over South China (SC) and the Yangtze and Huai River basin (YHRB) are investigated using multiple satellite products, surface rainfall ...
Did the Eruption of the Mt. Pinatubo Volcano Affect Cirrus Properties?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some observations suggest that the volcanic aerosols produced by the Mt. Pinatubo eruption may have altered cirrus. The authors look for evidence that such modification of cirrus is extensive enough to be climatically ...
Ten Years of Measurements of Tropical Upper-Tropospheric Water Vapor by MOZAIC. Part I: Climatology, Variability, Transport, and Relation to Deep Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ten years (1994?2004) of measurements of tropical upper-tropospheric water vapor (UTWV) by the Measurement of Ozone and Water Vapor by Airbus In-Service Aircraft (MOZAIC) are investigated over three regions?the tropical ...
Intercomparison of Deep Convection over the Tibetan Plateau–Asian Monsoon Region and Subtropical North America in Boreal Summer Using CloudSat/CALIPSO Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eep convection in the Tibetan Plateau?southern Asian monsoon region (TP?SAMR) is analyzed using CloudSat and Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) data for the boreal summer season ...
Strong Coupling in Diurnal Variations of Clouds, Radiation, Winds, and Precipitation during the East Asian Summer Monsoon

A Physically Based Algorithm for Non-Blackbody Correction of Cloud-Top Temperature and Application to Convection Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: loud-top temperature (CTT) is an important parameter for convective clouds and is usually different from the 11-?m brightness temperature due to non-blackbody effects. This paper presents an algorithm for estimating ...
Detection and Tracking of Tropical Convective Storms Based on Globally Gridded Precipitation Measurements: Algorithm and Survey over the Tropics
