A Combined Multisensor Optimal Estimation Retrieval Algorithm for Oceanic Warm Rain Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The complicated interactions between cloud processes in the tropical hydrologic cycle and their responses to changes in environmental variables have been the focus of many recent investigations. Most studies that examine ...
On the Consequences of Resampling Microwave Radiometer Observations for Use in Retrieval Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: How to deal with the different spatial resolutions of multifrequency satellite microwave radiometer measurements is a common problem in retrievals of cloud properties and rainfall. Data convolution and deconvolution is a ...
Lifetimes of Overshooting Convective Events Using High-Frequency Gridded Radar Composites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Does Afternoon Precipitation Occur Preferentially over Dry or Wet Soils in Oklahoma?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oil moisture is an integral part of the climate system and can drive land?atmosphere interactions through the partitioning of latent and sensible heat. Soil moisture feedback to precipitation has been documented in several ...
An Evaluation of the Proposed Mechanism of the Adaptive Infrared Iris Hypothesis Using TRMM VIRS and PR Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Significant controversy surrounds the adaptive infrared iris hypothesis put forth by Lindzen et al., whereby tropical anvil cirrus detrainment is hypothesized to decrease with increasing sea surface temperature (SST). This ...
Climatology of Storm Characteristics in Costa Rica using the TRMM Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar precipitation features are analyzed to understand the role of storm characteristics on the seasonal and diurnal cycles of precipitation in four distinct regions in ...
Convective Forcing of the North American Monsoon Anticyclone at Intraseasonal and Interannual Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Is the Awareness of the Aerosol State Useful in Predicting Enhanced Lightning for Lightning-Producing Storms over Northern Alabama?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals from the Terra and Aqua satellites currently provide the largest satellite aerosol dataset for investigating relationships ...
Comparison of Stratus Cloud Properties Deduced from Surface, GOES, and Aircraft Data during the March 2000 ARM Cloud IOP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Low-level stratus cloud microphysical properties derived from surface and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) data during the March 2000 cloud intensive observational period (IOP) at the Atmospheric ...
TAMU TRACER: Targeted Mobile Measurements to Isolate the Impacts of Aerosols and Meteorology on Deep Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
