The Vertical Structure of Tropical Convection and Its Impact on the Budgets of Water Vapor and Ozone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Convective clouds in the Tropics that penetrate the boundary layer inversion preferentially detrain into a shallow outflow layer (2?5 km) or a deep outflow layer (10?17 km). The properties of these layers are diagnosed ...
Seasonal Maize Forecasting for South Africa and Zimbabwe Derived from an Agroclimatological Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonal maize water-stress forecasts were derived for area averages of the primary maize-growing regions of South Africa and Zimbabwe. An agroclimatological model was used to create a historical record of maize water ...
Tropospheric Aerosol Optical Thickness from the GOCART Model and Comparisons with Satellite and Sun Photometer Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Georgia Institute of Technology?Goddard Global Ozone Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model is used to simulate the aerosol optical thickness τ for major types of tropospheric aerosols including ...
Remote Sensing of Tropospheric Pollution from Space
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We review the progress of tropospheric trace gas observations and address the need for additional measurement capabilities as recommended by the National Research Council. Tropospheric measurements show pollution in the ...
