RISVariability of Graupel and Snow Observed in Tropical Oceanic Convection by Aircraft during TRMM KWAJEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Empirical characterization of graupel and snow in precipitating tropical convective clouds is important for refining satellite precipitation retrieval algorithms and cloud-resolving and radiative transfer models. Microphysics ...
A Seven-Year Wind Profiler–Based Climatology of the Windward Barrier Jet along California’s Northern Sierra Nevada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This wind profiler?based study highlights key characteristics of the barrier jet along the windward slope of California?s Sierra Nevada. Between 2000 and 2007 roughly 10% of 100 000 hourly wind profiles, recorded at two ...
Extreme Quantitative Precipitation Forecast Performance at the Weather Prediction Center from 2001 to 2011
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xtreme quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) performance is baselined and analyzed by NOAA?s Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) using 11 yr of 32-km gridded QPFs from NCEP?s Weather Prediction Center (WPC). The analysis ...
Sierra Barrier Jets, Atmospheric Rivers, and Precipitation Characteristics in Northern California: A Composite Perspective Based on a Network of Wind Profilers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ive 915-MHz wind profilers and GPS receivers across California's northern Central Valley (CV) and adjacent Sierra foothills and coastal zone, in tandem with a 6-km-resolution gridded reanalysis dataset generated from the ...
Climatology and Environmental Characteristics of Extreme Precipitation Events in the Southeastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper documents the characteristics of extreme precipitation events (EPEs) in the southeastern United States (SEUS) during 2002?11. The EPEs are identified by applying an object-based method to 24-h precipitation ...
