RISEvaluation of a Satellite Multispectral VIS–IR Daytime Statistical Rain-Rate Classifier and Comparison with Passive Microwave Rainfall Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A daytime surface rain-rate classifier, based on artificial neural networks (ANNs), is proposed for the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) on board the Meteosat-8 geostationary satellite. It is developed ...
Effects of Altitude on Maximum Raindrop Size and Fall Velocity as Limited by Collisional Breakup
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oalescence and breakup of drops are recognized as the main mechanisms determining raindrop size distributions on the ground. Full knowledge of these processes is hindered by the challenging difficulties both in the laboratory ...
Identification and Analysis of Collisional Breakup in Natural Rain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: umerous laboratory and numerical studies have been dedicated to understanding collisional breakup as one of the most important processes in rain formation. The present study aims to identify when, in natural rain, collisional ...
A Field Study of Footprint-Scale Variability of Raindrop Size Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA network of seven two-dimensional video disdrometers (2DVD), which were operated during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) in northern Oklahoma, are employed to investigate the spatial ...
Comparison of GPM Core Observatory and Ground-Based Radar Retrieval of Mass-Weighted Mean Raindrop Diameter at Midlatitude
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractOne of the main goals of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is to retrieve parameters of the raindrop size distribution (DSD) globally. As a ...
