RISA Simple Method to Retrieve 3-Hourly Estimates of Global Tropical and Subtropical Precipitation from International Satellite Cloud Climatology Program (ISCCP) D1 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Algorithms to estimate rainfall from passive microwave or optical data from polar-orbiting satellites are limited by poor temporal sampling and are best suited to produce estimates integrated over periods of one month or ...
Large-Scale Climatic Controls on Lake Baikal Ice Cover
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long-term records of winter ice duration, formation, and breakup dates (1869?1996) and maximum thickness (1950?95) on Lake Baikal are analyzed to determine the nature of temporal trends and the relationship with the ...
Estimates of Rainfall over the United Kingdom and Surrounding Seas from the SSM/I Using the Polarization Corrected Temperature Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 85-GHz polarization corrected temperature (PCT85) algorithm, using the V85 and H85 channels of the SSM/I sensor, is evaluated for estimation of midlatitude rainfall. The algorithm ? parameter and rain/no-rain thresholds ...
Rainfall Estimation from a Combination of TRMM Precipitation Radar and GOES Multispectral Satellite Imagery through the Use of an Artificial Neural Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the development of a satellite precipitation algorithm designed to generate rainfall estimates at high spatial and temporal resolutions using a combination of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) ...
A Combined Satellite Infrared and Passive Microwave Technique for Estimation of Small-Scale Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are numerous applications in climatology and hydrology where accurate information at scales smaller than the existing monthly/2.5° products would be invaluable. Here, a new microwave/infrared rainfall algorithm is ...
Southern African Monthly Rainfall Variability: An Analysis Based on Generalized Linear Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: outhern Africa is characterized by a high degree of rainfall variability, affecting agriculture and hydrology, among other sectors. This paper aims to investigate such variability and to identify stable relationships with ...
Future Precipitation Projections over Central and Southern Africa and the Adjacent Indian Ocean: What Causes the Changes and the Uncertainty?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractFuture projections of precipitation at regional scales are vital to inform climate change adaptation activities. Therefore, is it important to quantify projected changes and associated uncertainty, and understand ...
Regional Model Simulations of the Bodélé Low-Level Jet of Northern Chad during the Bodélé Dust Experiment (BoDEx 2005)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The low-level jet (LLJ) over the Bodélé depression in northern Chad is a newly identified feature. Strong LLJ events are responsible for the emission of large quantities of mineral dust from the depression, the world?s ...
Satellite Rainfall Estimation Using Combined Passive Microwave and Infrared Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development of a combined infrared and passive microwave satellite rainfall estimation technique is outlined. Infrared data from geostationary satellites are combined with polar-orbiting passive microwave estimates to ...
