RISMultipeak Raindrop Size Distribution Observed by UHF/VHF Wind Profilers during the Passage of a Mesoscale Convective System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Indian Mesosphere?Stratosphere?Troposphere radar (IMSTR), Lower Atmospheric Wind Profiler (LAWP), and Joss?Waldvogel (JW) disdrometer measurements during the passage of two distinctly different (in terms of total rain ...
Characteristics of Vertical Velocity Cores in Different Convective Systems Observed over Gadanki, India
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Indian mesosphere?stratosphere?troposphere (MST) radar measurements during the passage of 60 convective systems are used to study the vertical air velocity (w) characteristics of tropical convection. The up- and downdraft ...
Spatial Coherence of Water Vapor and Rainfall over the Indian Subcontinent during Different Monsoon Seasons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spatial coherency in atmospheric water vapor and rainfall and their association have been studied over the Indian subcontinent utilizing high spatiotemporal resolution data. Total column water vapor (TCWV) values derived ...
A Climatological Study of the Nocturnal Boundary Layer over a Complex-Terrain Station
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo years of Doppler sodar measurements are used to study the time?height structure of the nocturnal boundary layer (NBL), its seasonal variation, and the characteristics of different types of NBL. A total of 220 clear-sky ...
Impact of Misrepresentation of Freezing-Level Height by the TRMM Algorithm on Shallow Rain Statistics over India and Adjoining Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he estimation of freezing level-height (FLH) by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) algorithm is evaluated, against several other data sources, over India and adjoining oceans. It is observed that the TRMM ...
Statistical Characteristics of Raindrop Size Distribution in Southwest Monsoon Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Raindrop size distribution (DSD) parameters are retrieved from dual-frequency (UHF and VHF) wind profiler measurements made at Gadanki, India, in a summer monsoon season. The convoluted UHF spectra are first corrected for ...
Classification of Tropical Precipitating Systems Using Wind Profiler Spectral Moments. Part II: Statistical Characteristics of Rainfall Systems and Sensitivity Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An automated precipitation algorithm to classify tropical precipitating systems has been described in a companion paper (Part I). In this paper, the algorithm has been applied to 18 months of lower atmospheric wind profiler ...
Classification of Tropical Precipitating Systems Using Wind Profiler Spectral Moments. Part I: Algorithm Description and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The lower atmospheric wind profiler (LAWP) measurements made at Gadanki, India, have been used to develop an objective algorithm to classify the tropical precipitating systems. A detailed investigation on the existing ...
Differences in Draft Core Statistics from the Wet to Dry Spell over Gadanki, India (13.5°N, 79.2°E)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Indian mesosphere?stratosphere?troposphere (MST) radar observations during the passage of 37 convective systems are utilized to investigate the characteristics of vertical air velocity w in different convection categories ...
Identification and Validation of Homogeneous Rainfall Zones in India Using Correlation Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aily rainfall data obtained from 1025 rain gauges spread across the country over 51 years (1951?2001) are subjected to correlation analysis to identify homogeneous rainfall zones over India. In contrast to earlier studies, ...
