RISEvaluation of TRMM Ground-Validation Radar-Rain Errors Using Rain Gauge Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ground-validation (GV) radar-rain products are often utilized for validation of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) space-based rain estimates, and, hence, quantitative evaluation of the GV radar-rain product ...
Evaluation of TRMM Rain Estimates Using Ground Measurements over Central Florida
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study evaluates space-based rain estimates from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite using ground-based measurements from the radar (GR) and tipping-bucket rain gauges (TG) over the TRMM Ground ...
Comparisons of Reflectivities from the TRMM Precipitation Radar and Ground-Based Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Given the decade-long and highly successful Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), it is now possible to provide quantitative comparisons between ground-based radars (GRs) and the spaceborne TRMM precipitation radar ...
Modeling Return Periods of Tropical Cyclone Intensities in the Vicinity of Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cyclones in the vicinity of Hawaii have resulted in great property damage. An estimate of the return periods of tropical cyclone intensities is of particular interest to governments, public interest groups, and ...
Tropical Cyclone Occurrences in the Vicinity of Hawaii: Are the Differences between El Niño and Non–El Niño Years Significant?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cyclones in the vicinity of Hawaii are rare. However, when they occurred, they caused enormous property damage. The authors have examined historical records (1949?95) of cyclones and classified them into El Niño ...
Effects of Key Factors on the Engine Combustion Mode Switching Between HCCI and SI
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A technical strategy for a rapid and smooth switching between spark ignition (SI) mode and homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) mode on a gasoline direct injection engine has been ...
Controlled SSCI With Moderate End Gas Auto Ignition for Fuel Economy Improvement and Knock Suppression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hybrid combustion mode including flame propagation induced by spark ignition (SI) and autoignition could be an effective method to improve fuel economy and suppress engine knock simultaneously. An experimental research on ...
Estimating Rain Rates from Tipping-Bucket Rain Gauge Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the cubic spline?based operational system for the generation of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 1-min rain-rate product 2A-56 from tipping-bucket (TB) gauge measurements. A simulated TB ...
Effect of Injection Timing on PPCI and MPCI Mode Fueled With Straight Run Naphtha
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Partially premixed compression ignition (PPCI) and multiple premixed compression ignition (MPCI) mode of straightrun naphtha have been investigated under different injection strategies. The MPCI mode is realized by the ...
Availability of High-Quality TRMM Ground Validation Data from Kwajalein, RMI: A Practical Application of the Relative Calibration Adjustment Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite launch in November 1997, the TRMM Satellite Validation Office (TSVO) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has been performing quality control and estimating ...
