RISControl of Low-Level Wind on the Diurnal Cycle of Tropical Coastal Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Westward Generation of Eastward-Moving Tropical Convective Bands in TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mechanisms responsible for westward generation of eastward-moving tropical convective bands in the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) are investigated using a ...
Precipitation-Top Heights of Heavy Orographic Rainfall in the Asian Monsoon Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ver coastal mountain ranges of the Asian monsoon region, heavy orographic rainfall is frequently associated with low precipitation-top heights (PTHs). This leads to conspicuous underestimation of rainfall using microwave ...
Role of Orography, Diurnal Cycle, and Intraseasonal Oscillation in Summer Monsoon Rainfall over the Western Ghats and Myanmar Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRainfall over the coastal regions of western India [Western Ghats (WG)] and Myanmar [Arakan Yoma (AY)], two regions experiencing the heaviest rainfall during the Asian summer monsoon, is examined using a Tropical ...
Improvement of TMI Rain Retrievals in Mountainous Areas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eavy rainfall associated with shallow orographic rainfall systems has been underestimated by passive microwave radiometer algorithms owing to weak ice scattering signatures. The authors improve the performance of estimates ...
Shallow and Deep Latent Heating Modes over Tropical Oceans Observed with TRMM PR Spectral Latent Heating Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three-dimensional distributions of the apparent heat source (Q1) ? radiative heating (QR) estimated from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) utilizing the spectral latent heating (SLH) ...
Spectral Retrieval of Latent Heating Profiles from TRMM PR Data. Part III: Estimating Apparent Moisture Sink Profiles over Tropical Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spectral latent heating (SLH) algorithm was developed to estimate apparent heat source (Q1) profiles for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) in Parts I and II of this study. In this ...
Latent Heating Contribution from Precipitation Systems with Different Sizes, Depths, and Intensities in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atent heating (LH) from precipitation systems with different sizes, depths, and convective intensities is quantified with 15 years of LH retrievals from version 7 Precipitation Radar (PR) products of the Tropical Rainfall ...
Spatial Contrast of Geographically Induced Rainfall Observed by TRMM PR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, the spatial variability in precipitation at a 0.1° scale is investigated using long-term data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar. Marked regional heterogeneities emerged ...
Spectral Retrieval of Latent Heating Profiles from TRMM PR Data. Part II: Algorithm Improvement and Heating Estimates over Tropical Ocean Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spectral latent heating (SLH) algorithm was developed for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) in Part I of this study. The method uses PR information [precipitation-top height (PTH), ...
