RISExtending the Capabilities of High-Frequency Rainfall Estimation from Geostationary-Based Satellite Infrared via a Network of Long-Range Lightning Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm for real-time precipitation estimation that combines satellite infrared with long-range lightning network observations is developed. The emphasis is on enhancing current capabilities in continuous rainfall ...
Continental Passive Microwave-Based Rainfall Estimation Algorithm: Application to the Amazon Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a new statistical algorithm to estimate rainfall over the Amazon Basin region using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI). The algorithm relies on empirical relationships ...
Differences between East and West Pacific Rainfall Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparison of the structure of precipitation systems between selected east and west Pacific regions along the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is made using a combination of satellite observations including vertical ...
The Use of TRMM Precipitation Radar Observations in Determining Ground Radar Calibration Biases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since the successful launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, measurements of a wide variety of precipitating systems have been obtained with unprecedented detail from the first space-based radar ...
The Effect of Spaceborne Microwave and Ground-Based Continuous Lightning Measurements on Forecasts of the 1998 Groundhog Day Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study seeks to evaluate the impact of several newly available sources of meteorological data on mesoscale model forecasts of the extratropical cyclone that struck Florida on 2 February 1998. Intermittent measurements ...
