Abstract: A real-time validation scheme for diagnosing radiatively active clouds has been in operation for a number of years at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. It compares IR channel imagery from four geostationary satellites ...

Abstract: It is often assumed, in modeling and radiation budget simulation, that clouds below the cirrus level are entirely in the liquid phase. There is substantive evidence from observations that low and middle clouds are often ...

Abstract: nly a climate model that is able to simulate well the historical atmospheric temperature trend can be used for estimating the future atmospheric temperature trends on different emission scenarios. Satellite-based Microwave ...

Abstract: fforts in the past two decades on air temperature mapping based on sparse monitoring networks reveal that algorithms based on multiple linear regressions with geographical and topographical parameters perform promisingly. ...

Abstract: yphoon Fitow made landfall south of Shanghai, China, on 6 October 2013. During the following two days, precipitation in excess of 300 mm day?1 occurred 400 km to the north of the typhoon center. The rain-producing systems ...
