RISPrecipitation and Latent Heating Characteristics of the Major Tropical Western Pacific Cloud Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An objective tropical cloud regime classification based on daytime averaged cloud-top pressure and optical thickness information from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) is combined with precipitation ...
Anvil Characteristics as Seen by C-POL during the Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Pacific Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE) took place in Darwin, Australia, in early 2006. C-band radar data were used to characterize tropical anvil (i.e., thick, nonprecipitating cloud ...
Thick Anvils as Viewed by the TRMM Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates anvils from thick, nonprecipitating clouds associated with deep convection as observed in the tropics by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) during the 10-yr ...
The Interaction between the Nocturnal Amazonian Low-Level Jet and Convection in CESM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Using Lomb–Scargle Analysis to Derive Empirical Orthogonal Functions from Gappy Meteorological Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Lomb?Scargle discrete Fourier transform (LSDFT) is a well-known technique for analyzing time series. In this study, a solution for empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) based on irregularly sampled data is ...
Spectral Signatures of Moisture–Convection Feedbacks over the Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPositive feedbacks between the cloud population and the environmental moisture field are central to theoretical expositions on the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). This study investigates the statistical incidence ...
The Relationship between Tropical Warm Pool Precipitation, Sea Surface Temperature, and Large-Scale Vertical Motion in IPCC AR4 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: regime sorting analysis is used to identify Caribbean and western Pacific precipitation, sea surface temperature, and large-scale vertical circulation relationships and biases within coupled and uncoupled Intergovernmental ...
Modeled and Observed Variations in Storm Divergence and Stratiform Rain Production in Southeastern Texas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: torm divergence profiles observed by an S-band Doppler radar are compared to ensemble simulations of 10 disparate precipitating systems occurring in warm-season, weakly baroclinic, and strongly baroclinic environments in ...
The Caribbean Low-Level Jet and Its Relationship with Precipitation in IPCC AR4 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: census of 19 coupled and 12 uncoupled model runs from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) shows that all models have the ability to simulate the location and height of the ...
Comparison of Radar Data from the TRMM Satellite and Kwajalein Oceanic Validation Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) and Kwajalein S-band validation radar (KR) agree well for reflectivity exceeding the sensitivity of the PR threshold (?17 dBZ). For echoes ...
