Precipitation Enhancement via the Interplay between Atmospheric Rivers and Cutoff Lows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA significant enhancement of precipitation can result from the interplay between two independent, large-scale phenomena: an atmospheric river (AR) and a cutoff low. An AR is a long, narrow region with a deep moist ...
A Removal Filter for Suspicious Extreme Rainfall Profiles in TRMM PR 2A25 Version-7 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study reports on the presence of suspicious ?extreme rainfall? data in the 2A25 version-7 (V7) product of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) dataset and introduces a simple method ...
Westerly Wind Bursts and Their Relationship with Intraseasonal Variations and ENSO. Part I: Statistics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Statistical features of the relationship among westerly wind bursts (WWBs), the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and intraseasonal variations (ISVs) were examined using 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather ...
Relationships between Rain Characteristics and Environment. Part II: Atmospheric Disturbances Associated with Shallow Convection over the Eastern Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ynoptic-scale westward-propagating disturbances over the eastern Pacific (EP) are analyzed in boreal autumn, utilizing spectral analysis, composite analysis, and energy budget analysis. The results are compared with those ...
Relationships between Rain Characteristics and Environment. Part I: TRMM Precipitation Features and the Large-Scale Environment over the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ifferences in the characteristics of rain systems in the eastern Pacific (EP) intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and the western Pacific (WP) warm pool are quantitatively examined in relation to the large-scale environment. ...
A Statistical Study on Rain Characteristics of Tropical Cyclones Using TRMM Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three-dimensional rain characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs) are statistically quantified, using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data from December 1997 to December 2003. Tropical cyclones are classified ...
Attribution of Decadal Variability in Tropical Cyclone Passage Frequency over the Western North Pacific: A New Approach Emphasizing the Genesis Location of Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ariability in tropical cyclone (TC) activity is a matter of direct concern for affected populations. On interannual and longer time scales, variability in TC passage frequency can be associated with total TC frequency over ...
Improvements in Detection of Light Precipitation with the Global Precipitation Measurement Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (GPM DPR)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper demonstrates the impact of the enhancement in detectability by the dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR) on board the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) core observatory. By setting two minimum detectable ...
Westerly Wind Bursts and Their Relationship with Intraseasonal Variations and ENSO. Part II: Energetics over the Western and Central Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mechanism of synoptic-scale eddy development in the generation of westerly wind bursts (WWBs) over the western?central Pacific, and their relationship with the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Madden?Julian ...
An Initiation Process of Tropical Depression–Type Disturbances under the Influence of Upper-Level Troughs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
