Abstract: he dual-polarization (dual pol) Doppler radar can transmit/receive both horizontally and vertically polarized power returns. The dual-pol radar measurements have been shown to provide a more accurate precipitation estimate ...

Abstract: convective cloud (CC) analysis is performed over the southeastern United States (SEUS) during June, July, and August 2006 and 2007, using data from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) visible and ...

Abstract: This study demonstrates methods to obtain high-density, satellite-derived atmospheric motion vectors (AMV) that contain both synoptic-scale and mesoscale flow components associated with and induced by cumuliform clouds ...

Abstract: This study identifies the precursor signals of convective initiation within sequences of 1-km-resolution visible (VIS) and 4?8-km infrared (IR) imagery from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) ...

Abstract: n this study, an ice-phase microphysics forward model has been developed for the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model three-dimensional variational data assimilation (WRF 3D-Var) system. Radar forward operators for ...

Abstract: Tropical plumes are identified in satellite data as elongated cloud bands originating from convective activity along the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), often extending far into the subtropics and middle latitudes. ...

Abstract: The Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program has funded the development and installation of five atmospheric emitted radiance interferometer (AERI) systems around the Southern Great Plains Cloud and ...

Abstract: uper Rapid Scan Operations for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) R series (SRSOR) using GOES-14 have made experimentation with 1-min time-step data possible prior to the launch of the new satellite. ...
