Comparison of Two Convective/Stratiform Precipitation Classification Techniques: Radar Reflectivity Texture versus Drop Size Distribution–Based Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: -band polarimetric radar measurements spanning two wet seasons are used to perform a critical evaluation of two algorithms for the classification of stratiform and convective precipitation. The first approach is based on ...
Statistics of Drop Size Distribution Parameters and Rain Rates for Stratiform and Convective Precipitation during the North Australian Wet Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: -band polarimetric radar measurements spanning two wet seasons are used to study the effects of the large-scale environment on the statistical properties of stratiform and convective rainfall around Darwin, Australia. The ...
On the Effects of Large-Scale Environment and Surface Types on Convective Cloud Characteristics over Darwin, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo seasons of Darwin, Australia, C-band polarimetric (CPOL) research radar, radiosoundings, and lightning data are examined to study the relative influence of the large-scale atmospheric regimes and the underlying surface ...
Prediction of the Onset of Heavy Rain Using SEVIRI Cloud Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThunderstorms and strong precipitation events can be highly variable in space and time and therefore are challenging to forecast. Geostationary satellites are particularly well suited for studying their occurrence ...
