RISTypical Patterns of Microwave Signatures and Vertical Profiles of Precipitation in the Midlatitudes from TRMM Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: epresentative patterns from multichannel microwave brightness temperature Tb in the midlatitude oceanic region, observed by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI), are studied during precipitation ...
Role of Orography, Diurnal Cycle, and Intraseasonal Oscillation in Summer Monsoon Rainfall over the Western Ghats and Myanmar Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRainfall over the coastal regions of western India [Western Ghats (WG)] and Myanmar [Arakan Yoma (AY)], two regions experiencing the heaviest rainfall during the Asian summer monsoon, is examined using a Tropical ...
Comparison of Diurnal Variations in Precipitation Systems Observed by TRMM PR, TMI, and VIRS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data during June?August 1998?2003 are used to investigate diurnal variations of rain and cloud systems over the tropics and midlatitudes. The peak time of the coldest minimum ...
Spatial Contrast of Geographically Induced Rainfall Observed by TRMM PR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, the spatial variability in precipitation at a 0.1° scale is investigated using long-term data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar. Marked regional heterogeneities emerged ...
Impact of Long-Term Observation on the Sampling Characteristics of TRMM PR Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMM PR) over 16 yr yielded hundreds of large precipitation systems (≥100 km) for each 0.1° grid over major rainy regions. More than 90% of the ...
Further Improvement of the Heavy Orographic Rainfall Retrievals in the GSMaP Algorithm for Microwave Radiometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAn orographic/nonorographic rainfall classification scheme has been introduced for the operational algorithm of the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) for passive microwave radiometers. However, ...
Improvement of High-Resolution Satellite Rainfall Product for Typhoon Morakot (2009) over Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors improve the high-resolution Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) product for Typhoon Morakot (2009) over Taiwan by using an orographic/nonorographic rainfall classification scheme. For the estimation ...
