RISVariational Retrieval of Temperature and Humidity Profiles from TRMM Precipitation Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the performance of a one-dimensional variational (1DVAR) assimilation of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite-derived surface rainfall rates from the Microwave Imager TMI. Temperature and ...
Four-Dimensional Variational Assimilation of Total Column Water Vapor in Rainy Areas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper studies the impact of assimilating rain-derived information in the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) four-dimensional variational (4DVAR) system. The approach is based on a one-dimensional ...
The 12/13 January 1988 Narrow Cold-Frontal Rainband Observed during MFDP/FRONTS 87. Part II: Microphysics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The microphysics of a narrow cold-frontal rainband (NCFR) observed during the MFDP/FRONTS87 experiment is investigated by using a microphysical retrieval model. The equations of evolution of the water substance and of the ...
The 12/13 January 1988 Narrow Cold-Frontal Rainband Observed during MFDP/FRONTS 87. Part I: Kinematics and Thermodynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The kinematic and thermodynamic structure of a narrow cold-frontal rainband (NCFR) observed during the English?French?German MFDP/FRONTS 87 experiment is presented. Radiosonde data indicated a very weak convective instability ...
Estimate of Precipitation from the Dual-Beam Airborne Radars in TOGA COARE. Part 1: The K–Z Relationships Derived from Stereo and Quad-Beam Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The recent development of dual-beam airborne Doppler weather radar offers the possibility to perform high-resolution observations of the three-dimensional air motion and precipitation fields associated with severe weather ...
Retrieval of Precipitation from Microwave Airborne Sensors during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to report on the retrieval of the vertically averaged liquid cloud water content and vertically averaged precipitation rates (rain and ice) from microwave airborne radiometric observations in a ...
Rain Relations Inferred from Microphysical Data in TOGA COARE and Their Use to Test a Rain-Profiling Method from Radar Measurements at Ku-Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The first part of this paper is dedicated to establishing relations among rain-integrated parameters representative of west Pacific precipitation. This is achieved by using airborne microphysical data gathered within a ...
