Observed Relationships between Cloud Vertical Structure and Convective Aggregation over Tropical Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing the satellite-infrared-based Simple Convective Aggregation Index (SCAI) to determine the degree of aggregation, 5 years of CloudSat?CALIPSO cloud profiles are composited at a spatial scale of 10 degrees to study the ...
An Evaluation of Clouds and Precipitation in Convection-Permitting Forecasts for South Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since 2016, the South African Weather Service (SAWS) has been running convective-scale simulations to assist with forecast operations across southern Africa. These simulations are run with a tropical configuration of the ...
WIVERN: A New Satellite Concept to Provide Global In-Cloud Winds, Precipitation, and Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a conically scanning spaceborne Dopplerized 94-GHz radar Earth science mission concept: Wind Velocity Radar Nephoscope (WIVERN). WIVERN aims to provide global measurements of in-cloud winds using ...
