RISFlow, Moisture, and Thermodynamic Variability Associated with Gulf of California Surges within the North American Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses an improved surge identification method to examine composites of 29 yr of surface observations and reanalysis data alongside 10 yr of satellite precipitation data to reveal connections between flow, thermodynamic ...
The Diurnal Cycle of Rainfall and Convective Intensity according to Three Years of TRMM Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite measurements from the precipitation radar and TRMM microwave imager have been combined to yield a comprehensive 3-yr database of precipitation features (PFs) throughout ...
Altitudinal Precipitation Gradients in the Tropics from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) climatology shows variability in surface precipitation rate?elevation relationships across the tropics. Vertical profiles of radar reflectivity and profiles of specific humidity ...
The Diurnal Cycle of Rainfall and Convective Intensity according to Three Years of TRMM Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite measurements from the precipitation radar and TRMM microwave imager have been combined to yield a comprehensive 3-yr database of precipitation features (PFs) throughout ...
The Regulation of Tornado Intensity by Updraft Width
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractStrong to violent tornadoes cause a disproportionate amount of damage, in part because the width and length of a tornado damage track are correlated to tornado intensity (as now estimated through enhanced Fujita ...
Mesoscale Convective Systems and Critical Clusters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Size distributions and other geometric properties of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), identified as clusters of adjacent pixels exceeding a precipitation threshold in satellite radar images, are examined with respect ...
Reflectivity, Ice Scattering, and Lightning Characteristics of Hurricane Eyewalls and Rainbands. Part I: Quantitative Description
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Covering December 1997 through December 1998, 261 overpasses of 45 hurricanes by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite are used to document the observed radar reflectivity values, passive microwave ice ...
Storm Morphology and Rainfall Characteristics of TRMM Precipitation Features
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR), TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI), and Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) observations within the Precipitation Feature (PF) database have been analyzed to ...
The Diurnal Cycle of Clouds and Precipitation along the Sierra Madre Occidental Observed during NAME-2004: Implications for Warm Season Precipitation Estimation in Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the spatial and temporal variability in the diurnal cycle of clouds and precipitation tied to topography within the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) tier-I domain during the 2004 NAME enhanced ...
On the Correction of Partial Beam Blockage in Polarimetric Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three methodologies for correcting the radar reflectivity factor (ZH) in the presence of partial beam blockage are implemented, compared, and evaluated using a polarimetric radar dataset from the North American Monsoon ...
