RISEvaluation of Radar Multiple-Scattering Effects from a GPM Perspective. Part II: Model Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiple-scattering effects as sensed by radars in configurations useful in the context of the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) are evaluated for a range of meteorological profiles extracted from four different cloud-resolving ...
Evaluation of Radar Multiple-Scattering Effects from a GPM Perspective. Part I: Model Description and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical model based on the Monte Carlo solution of the vector radiative transfer equation has been adopted to simulate radar signals. The model accounts for general radar configurations such as airborne/spaceborne/ground ...
A Combination of Microwave Observations from Satellites and an EOF Analysis to Retrieve Vertical Humidity Profiles over the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A semistatistical retrieval technique is presented to derive humidity profiles over the oceans from passive microwave measurements. The procedure is based upon the vertical empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) of the ...
The Influence of Hydrologic Modeling on the Predicted Local Weather: Two-Way Coupling of a Mesoscale Weather Prediction Model and a Land Surface Hydrologic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-way coupling of the operational mesoscale weather prediction model known as Lokal Modell (LM; German Weather Service) with the land surface hydrologic ?TOPMODEL?-Based Land Surface?Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (TOPLATS; ...
Validation of a Physical Retrieval Scheme of Solar Surface Irradiances from Narrowband Satellite Radiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm is presented to derive the downwelling solar surface irradiance from satellite measurements of the 0.63-?m reflectance, which explicitly accounts for variations in cloud optical depth and integrated water ...
Evaluation of Satellite-Retrieved Extreme Precipitation over Europe using Gauge Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: limate change is expected to change precipitation characteristics and particularly the frequency and magnitude of precipitation extremes. Satellite observations form an important part of the observing system necessary to ...
Profiling Cloud Liquid Water by Combining Active and Passive Microwave Measurements with Cloud Model Statistics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for combining ground-based passive microwave radiometer retrievals of integrated liquid water (LWP), radar reflectivity profiles (Z), and statistics of a cloud model is proposed for deriving cloud liquid water ...
Polarimetric Estimates of a 1-Month Accumulation of Light Rain with a 3-cm Wavelength Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors evaluate rainfall estimates from the new polarimetric X-band radar at Bonn, Germany, for a period between mid-November and the end of December 2009 by comparison with rain gauges. The emphasis is on slightly ...
Representation of Precipitation Characteristics and Extremes in Regional Reanalyses and Satellite- and Gauge-Based Estimates over Western and Central Europe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper evaluates several daily precipitation products over western and central Europe, identifies and documents their respective strengths and shortcomings, and relates these to uncertainties associated with ...
Attenuation and Differential Attenuation of 5-cm-Wavelength Radiation in Melting Hail
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Presented are quantitative estimates of specific attenuation and specific differential attenuation of 5-cm-wavelength radiation (C band) obtained by comparison with measurements at 10-cm wavelength (S band), which are much ...
