Abstract: This paper describes a transition of rainfall characteristics related to the moistening of the land surface over the central Tibetan Plateau. This transition was observed three weeks after the onset of the summer rainy ...

Abstract: We have developed a procedure that detects and tracks gust fronts automatically. It does not rely on a single method but requires simultaneous operation of two related algorithms. The convergence algorithm measures radial ...

Abstract: The first study in both observing and modeling radiative properties of snow clouds in the microwave frequencies is described in this paper. Snow clouds over ocean were observed simultaneously using an airborne microwave ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of the convective boundary layer (CBL) over a humid terrestrial area, the Huaihe River basin in China, which is covered by a large, nearly flat plain with uniform ...

Abstract: The structure and formation mechanism of a supercell-like storm in a moist environment below a melting layer were investigated using dual-Doppler radar analysis and a cloud-resolving storm simulator (CReSS). The supercell-like ...

Abstract: fuzzy-logic-based hydrometeor classification (HC) method for X-band polarimetric radar (X-pol), which is suitable for observation of solid hydrometeors under moist environments producing little or no hail, is constructed ...
