RISThe Effects of Satellite-Derived Vegetation Cover Variability on Simulated Land–Atmosphere Interactions in the NAMS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Substantial evolution of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NVDI)-derived vegetation cover (Fg) exists in the southwestern United States and Mexico. The intraseasonal and wet-/dry-year fluctuations of Fg are linked ...
Direct Radiative Effect of Mineral Dust on the Development of African Easterly Waves in Late Summer, 2003–07
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pisodic events of both Saharan dust outbreaks and African easterly waves (AEWs) are observed to move westward over the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. The relationship between the warm, dry, and dusty Saharan air layer ...
Evaluation of Long-Term Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations Using Satellite Radiance Observations and Multifrequency Satellite Simulators
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper proposes a methodology known as the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Triple-Sensor Three-Step Evaluation Framework (T3EF) for the systematic evaluation of precipitating cloud types and microphysics in ...
Global Precipitation Estimates from Cross-Track Passive Microwave Observations Using a Physically Based Retrieval Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he estimation of precipitation across the globe from satellite sensors provides a key resource in the observation and understanding of our climate system. Estimates from all pertinent satellite observations are critical ...
NU-WRF Aerosol Transport Simulation over West Africa: Effects of Biomass Burning on Smoke Aerosol Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSeries of aerosol transport hindcasts for West Africa were conducted using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model coupled to chemistry within the NASA-Unified WRF (NU-WRF) framework. The transport of ...
A Comparison of the Water Budgets between Clouds from AMMA and TWP-ICE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo field campaigns, the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) and the Tropical Warm Pool?International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE), took place in 2006 near Niamey, Niger, and Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, ...
Estimating the Ice Crystal Enhancement Factor in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ice crystal enhancement (IE) factor, defined as the ratio of the ice crystal to ice nuclei (IN) number concentrations for any particular cloud condition, is needed to quantify the contribution of changes in IN to global ...
Microphysics and Radiation Effect of Dust on Saharan Air Layer: An HS3 Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA Saharan air layer (SAL) event associated with a nondeveloping African easterly wave (AEW) over the main development region of the eastern Atlantic was sampled by the NASA Global Hawk aircraft on 24?25 August 2013 ...
WRF–SBM Simulations of Melting-Layer Structure in Mixed-Phase Precipitation Events Observed during LPVEx
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo mixed-phase precipitation events were observed on 21 September and 20 October 2010 over the southern part of Finland during the Light Precipitation Validation Experiment (LPVEx). These events have been simulated using ...
