RISCloud-Top Properties of Growing Cumulus prior to Convective Initiation as Measured by Meteosat Second Generation. Part I: Infrared Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared (IR) data from the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite are used to understand cloud-top signatures for growing cumulus clouds prior to known convective initiation (CI) events, or the first occurrence of a ...
An Enhanced Geostationary Satellite–Based Convective Initiation Algorithm for 0–2-h Nowcasting with Object Tracking
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes an enhanced 0?2-h convective initiation (CI) nowcasting algorithm known as Satellite Convection Analysis and Tracking, version 2 (SATCASTv2). Tracking of developing cumulus cloud ?objects? in advance ...
The Definition of GOES Infrared Lightning Initiation Interest Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Within cumulus cloud fields that develop in conditionally unstable air masses, only a fraction of the cumuli may eventually develop into deep convection. Identifying which of these convective clouds is most likely to ...
Cloud-Top Properties of Growing Cumulus prior to Convective Initiation as Measured by Meteosat Second Generation. Part II: Use of Visible Reflectance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study is a companion research effort to ?Part I,? which emphasized use of infrared data for understanding various aspects of growing convective clouds in the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite?s Spinning ...
