RISScale Dependence of Monsoonal Convective Systems over the Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Deep convective clouds in the Tropics have long been recognized to occur on a wide spectrum of spatial scales, ranging from the individual cumulus to the meso- and synoptic-scale cloud systems. The objective of this paper ...
Revisiting the Global Energy Budget Dynamics with a Multivariate Earth Energy Balance Model to Account for the Warming Pattern Effect
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Validation of Upper-Tropospheric Humidity from SAPHIR on board Megha-Tropiques Using Tropical Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes the upper-tropospheric humidity (UTH) product derived from brightness temperature measurements of the Sondeur Atmosphérique du Profil d?Humidité Intertropicale par Radiométrie (SAPHIR) radiometer on ...
A Study of the Free Tropospheric Humidity Interannual Variability Using Meteosat Data and an Advection–Condensation Transport Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor in the midtroposphere is an important element for the earth radiation budget. Despite its importance, the relative humidity in the free troposphere is not very well documented, mainly because of the difficulties ...
Observational Evidence for Relationships between the Degree of Aggregation of Deep Convection, Water Vapor, Surface Fluxes, and Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical deep convection exhibits complex organization over a wide range of scales. This study investigates the relationships between the spatial organization of deep convection and the large-scale atmospheric state. By ...
A Multiscale Evaluation of the Detection Capabilities of High-Resolution Satellite Precipitation Products in West Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: alidation studies have assessed the accuracy of satellite-based precipitation estimates at coarse scale (1° and 1 day or coarser) in the tropics, but little is known about their ability to capture the finescale variability ...
Ocean Mixed Layer Temperature Variations Induced by Intraseasonal Convective Perturbations over the Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In situ and satellite observations reveal that the tropical intraseasonal oscillation is occasionally associated with large variations in sea surface temperature (SST). The purpose of this paper is to find the physical ...
Life Cycle–Resolved Observation of Radiative Properties of Mesoscale Convective Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Extratropical Dry-Air Intrusions into the West African Monsoon Midtroposphere: An Important Factor for the Convective Activity over the Sahel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between large-scale dynamics, water vapor, and organized convection over West Africa. Making use of a simplified condensation hypothesis, a back-trajectory model fed by NCEP-analyzed ...
Comparing Satellite and Surface Rainfall Products over West Africa at Meteorologically Relevant Scales during the AMMA Campaign Using Error Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monsoon rainfall is central to the climate of West Africa, and understanding its variability is a challenge for which satellite rainfall products could be well suited to contribute to. Their quality in this region has ...
