RISInterpretation of Doppler Weather Radar Displays of Midlatitude Mesoscale Convective Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The utility of color displays of Doppler-radar data in revealing real-time kinematic information has been demonstrated in past studies, especially for extratropical cyclones and severe thunderstorms. Such displays can also ...
Diurnal Characteristics of Precipitation Features over the Tropical East Pacific: A Comparison of the EPIC and TEPPS Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the diurnal cycle of precipitation features in two regions of the tropical east Pacific where field campaigns [the East Pacific Investigation of Climate Processes in the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere System ...
A Radar and Electrical Study of Tropical “Hot Towers”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radar and electrical measurements for deep tropical convection are examined for both ?break period? and ?monsoonal? regimes in the vicinity of Darwin, Australia. Break period convection consists primarily of deep continental ...
Modeling and Interpretation of S-Band Ice Crystal Depolarization Signatures from Data Obtained by Simultaneously Transmitting Horizontally and Vertically Polarized Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata collected by the National Center for Atmospheric Research S-band polarimetric radar (S-Pol) during the Terrain-Influenced Monsoon Rainfall Experiment (TiMREX) in Taiwan are analyzed and used to infer storm microphysics ...
Polarimetric Radar Measurements of Tropical Rain at a 5-cm Wavelength
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 5-cm wavelength (C band) polarimetric radar was deployed during the MCTEX (Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment) field program. This paper investigates the use of the C-band data for quantitative rainfall measurements ...
Radar Characteristics of Precipitation Features in the EPIC and TEPPS Regions of the East Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ship-based radar data are used to compare the structure of precipitation features in two regions of the east Pacific where recent field campaigns were conducted: the East Pacific Investigation of Climate Processes in the ...
Improving Simulations of Convective Systems from TRMM LBA: Easterly and Westerly Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 3D Goddard Cumulus Ensemble model is used to simulate two convective events observed during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Large-Scale Biosphere?Atmosphere (TRMM LBA) experiment in Brazil. These two events ...
A New Dual-Polarization Radar Rainfall Algorithm: Application in Colorado Precipitation Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The efficacy of dual-polarization radar for quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) has been demonstrated in a number of previous studies. Specifically, rainfall retrievals using combinations of reflectivity (Zh), ...
Primary Modes of Global Drop Size Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUnderstanding drop size distribution (DSD) variability has important implications for remote sensing and numerical modeling applications. Twelve disdrometer datasets across three latitude bands are analyzed in this ...
Transformation of the CSU–CHILL Radar Facility to a Dual-Frequency, Dual-Polarization Doppler System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes the transformation of the Colorado State University?University of Chicago?Illinois State Water Survey (CSU?CHILL) National Radar Facility from a single-frequency (S band) dual-polarization Doppler weather ...
