Role of Diurnal Warm Layers in the Diurnal Cycle of Convection over the Tropical Indian Ocean during MISMO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of air?sea interaction in the diurnal variations of convective activity during the suppressed and developing stages of an intraseasonal convective event is analyzed using in situ observations from the Mirai Indian ...
Diurnal Variations in Tropical Oceanic Cumulus Convection during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Diurnal variations in atmospheric convection, dynamic/thermodynamic fields, and heat/moisture budgets over the equatorial Pacific warm pool region are analyzed based on data collected from different observation platforms ...
Retrieval of Latent Heating from TRMM Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rainfall is a fundamental process within the Earth's hydrological cycle because it represents a principal forcing term in surface water budgets, while its energetics corollary, latent heating, is the principal source of ...
TRMM Latent Heating Retrieval: Applications and Comparisons with Field Campaigns and Large-Scale Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: anai and coauthors utilized the meteorological data collected from a sounding network to present a pioneering work in 1973 on thermodynamic budgets, which are referred to as the apparent heat source (Q1) and apparent ...
