A MODIS Dual Spectral Rain Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) dual spectral rain algorithm (MODRA) is developed for rain retrievals over the northern midlatitudes. The reflectance of the MODIS water vapor absorption channel ...
A Dynamical Index for the East Asian Winter Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new index measuring the East Asian winter monsoon is defined using the mean wind shears of upper-tropospheric zonal wind based on the belief that the physical processes of both higher and lower latitudes, and at both ...
Prediction of Eastern and Central Pacific ENSO Events and Their Impacts on East Asian Climate by the NCEP Climate Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he eastern Pacific (EP) El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the central Pacific (CP) ENSO exert different influences on climate. In this study, the authors analyze the hindcasts of the NCEP Climate Forecast System, ...
Impacts of Different Types of El Niño on the East Asian Climate: Focus on ENSO Cycles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing multiple datasets and a partial correlation method, the authors analyze the different impacts of eastern Pacific (EP) and central Pacific (CP) El Niño on East Asian climate, focusing on the features from El Niño ...
Feedback Attributions to the Dominant Modes of East Asian Winter Monsoon Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the variations and feedback attributions of changes in surface temperature between strong and weak East Asian winter monsoons. The variations of winter-mean surface air temperature are dominated by ...
Dynamical Prediction of the Early Season Rainfall over Southern China by the NCEP Climate Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he early season rainfall (ESR) over southern China, usually occurring from April to June, is a prominent meteorological phenomenon of the East Asian monsoon system. In this paper, output from the 45-day hindcast by the ...
Role of Latent Heating over the Tropical Western Pacific in Surface Temperature Change over North America during Boreal Spring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBased on observational data, a linear baroclinic model, and an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM), the major modes of spring precipitation over the tropical Asian and Pacific regions are identified. and ...
Convective–Stratiform Precipitation Variability at Seasonal Scale from 8 Yr of TRMM Observations: Implications for Multiple Modes of Diurnal Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the variability of convective and stratiform rainfall from 8 yr (1998?2005) of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) and TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) measurements, ...
Influences of Sea Surface Temperature and Ground Wetness onAsian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors have conducted a series of experiments with a general circulation model to understand the influences of sea surface temperature (SST) and ground wetness (GW) (measured by snow amount and soil moisture content) ...
Route Optimization of the Road Transportation of Dangerous Goods Based on Bi-Level Programming
