Abstract: The ocean surface latent heat flux (LHF) plays an essential role in global energy and water cycle variability. In this study, monthly LHF over global oceans during 1992?93 are compared among Goddard Satellite-Based Surface ...

Abstract: Monthly and daily products of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) are evaluated through a comparison with Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) gauge observations for the period January 1995?December 2007 ...

Abstract: Climatologies of convective precipitation were derived from passive microwave observations from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager using a scattering-based algorithm of Adler et al. Data were aggregated over periods of ...

Abstract: A technique is described to use Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) combined radar?radiometer information to adjust geosynchronous infrared satellite data [the TRMM Adjusted Geostationary Operational Environmental ...

Abstract: Information on the turbulent fluxes of momentum, latent heat, and sensible heat at the air?sea interface is essential in improving model simulations of climate variations and in climate studies. A 13.5-yr (July 1987?December ...

Abstract: The second intercomparison project of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project examined the estimation of midlatitude, cool-season precipitation. As part of that effort, the authors report here on the results of two ...
