RISStructure and Evolution of Hurricane Claudette on 7 September 1991 from Airborne Doppler Radar Observations. Part I: Kinematics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 7 September 1991, an experiment was conducted with the two National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) WP-3D research aircraft to investigate the inner-core region of Hurricane Claudette. Both aircraft carried ...
Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Claudette on 7 September 1991 from Airborne Doppler Radar Observations. Part II: Thermodynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part I, the kinematic and precipitating fields of Hurricane Claudette have been analyzed, using airborne Doppler radar data collected on 7 September 1991 by the two National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ...
Rain Retrieval from TMI Brightness Temperature Measurements Using a TRMM PR–Based Database
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study focuses on improving the retrieval of rain from measured microwave brightness temperatures and the capability of the retrieved field to represent the mesoscale structure of a small intense hurricane. For this ...
Evolution of the Distribution of Upper-Tropospheric Humidity over the Indian Ocean: Connection with Large-Scale Advection and Local Cloudiness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe spatial and temporal distribution of upper-tropospheric humidity (UTH) observed by the Sounder for Atmospheric Profiling of Humidity in the Intertropics by Radiometry (SAPHIR)/Megha-Tropiques radiometer is ...
Combined Use of the Radar and Radiometer of TRMM to Estimate the Influence of Drop Size Distribution on Rain Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A combination of passive microwave and radar observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite is used to investigate the consistency between the two sensors. Rather than relying on some absolute ...
Comparison of Rainfall Profiles in the West African Monsoon as Depicted by TRMM PR and the LMDZ Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical rainfall profiles obtained with TRMM-PR 2A25 standard products are compared with rain profiles deduced from the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique second generation global climate model (LMDZ, the Z stands for ...
Retrieval of Precipitation from Microwave Airborne Sensors during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to report on the retrieval of the vertically averaged liquid cloud water content and vertically averaged precipitation rates (rain and ice) from microwave airborne radiometric observations in a ...
Rain Relations Inferred from Microphysical Data in TOGA COARE and Their Use to Test a Rain-Profiling Method from Radar Measurements at Ku-Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The first part of this paper is dedicated to establishing relations among rain-integrated parameters representative of west Pacific precipitation. This is achieved by using airborne microphysical data gathered within a ...
Calibration Transfer Methodology for Cloud Radars Based on Ice Cloud Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Melting-Layer Model for Passive/Active Microwave Remote Sensing Applications. Part I: Model Formulation and Comparison with Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, a 1D steady-state microphysical model that describes the vertical distribution of melting precipitation particles is developed. The model is driven by the ice-phase precipitation distributions just above the ...
