Cloud-Top Evolution of Tropical Oceanic Squall Lines from Radar Reflectivity and Infrared Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation estimation over the tropical oceans is commonly performed using passive infrared (IR) measurements of cloud-top brightness temperature from geostationary satellites to infer the location of deep convection. ...
Nocturnal Cloud Systems and the Diurnal Variation of Clouds and Rainfall in Southwestern Amazonia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the origins of a secondary nocturnal maximum in cloudiness and precipitation in southwestern Amazonia, a diurnal feature observed previously by many investigators. Analysis is based on satellite, radar, ...
A Climatology of the Structure, Evolution, and Propagation of Midlatitude Cyclones in the Southeast United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he seasonal and interannual variability of the structure, evolution, and propagation of midlatitude cyclones in the southeast United States are studied using a composite analysis. In the upper levels, the composites show ...
Radar Observations of Convective System Variability in Relationship to African Easterly Waves during the 2006 AMMA Special Observing Period
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A radar-based analysis of the structure, motion, and rainfall variability of westward-propagating squall-line mesoscale convective systems (SLMCSs) in Niamey, Niger, during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Activities ...
A Further Look at Q1 and Q2 from TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo features of Yanai et al.?s profiles of Q1 and Q2?the commonly observed double-peak structure to Q2 and an inflection in the Q1 profile below the melting level?are explored using estimates of convective and stratiform ...
An Ensemble of Convective Systems on 11 February 1993 during TOGA COARE:Morphology, Rainfall Characteristics, and Anvil Cloud Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An active day during the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) Intensive Observation Period (IOP) is examined in which nine convective systems evolved and moved eastward across the region of shipboard radar ...
Variability of South American Convective Cloud Systems and Tropospheric Circulation during January–March 1998 and 1999
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparison of the submonthly variability of atmospheric circulation and organization of convection in South America during January?February?March of 1998 (JFM98) and January?February?March of 1999 (JFM99) is presented. ...
Environmental Characteristics of Convective Systems during TRMM-LBA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, data collected from 51 days of continual upper-atmospheric soundings and the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) radar at Anglo?Brazilian Amazonian Climate Observation Study (ABRACOS) Hill during the ...
Trimodal Characteristics of Tropical Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It has long been known that trade wind cumulus and deep cumulonimbus represent primary components of the broad spectrum of cumulus clouds in the Tropics, which has led to the concept of a bimodal distribution of tropical ...
