RISRelationships between Rain Characteristics and Environment. Part II: Atmospheric Disturbances Associated with Shallow Convection over the Eastern Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ynoptic-scale westward-propagating disturbances over the eastern Pacific (EP) are analyzed in boreal autumn, utilizing spectral analysis, composite analysis, and energy budget analysis. The results are compared with those ...
Relationships between Rain Characteristics and Environment. Part I: TRMM Precipitation Features and the Large-Scale Environment over the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ifferences in the characteristics of rain systems in the eastern Pacific (EP) intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and the western Pacific (WP) warm pool are quantitatively examined in relation to the large-scale environment. ...
A Statistical Study on Rain Characteristics of Tropical Cyclones Using TRMM Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three-dimensional rain characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs) are statistically quantified, using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data from December 1997 to December 2003. Tropical cyclones are classified ...
Precipitation Characteristics over East Asia in Early Summer: Effects of the Subtropical Jet and Lower-Tropospheric Convective Instability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA quasi-stationary front, called the baiu front, often appears during the early-summer rainy season in East Asia (baiu in Japan). The present study examines how precipitation characteristics during the baiu season ...
Synoptic-Scale Dual Structure of Precipitable Water along the Eastern Pacific ITCZ
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing 10-yr high-resolution satellite and reanalysis data, the synoptic-scale dual structure of precipitable water (PW), in which the southern and northern bands straddled at the ITCZ produce zonally propagating meridional ...
TRMM-Observed Shallow versus Deep Convection in the Eastern Pacific Related to Large-Scale Circulations in Reanalysis Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ver the eastern Pacific, recent studies have shown that a shallow large-scale meridional circulation with its return flow just above the boundary layer coexists with a deep Hadley circulation. This study examines how the ...
A Contrast in Precipitation Characteristics across the Baiu Front near Japan. Part I: TRMM PR Observation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ontrasts in precipitation characteristics across the baiu front are examined with Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) data near Japan during June?July (1998?2011). The vertical structure of ...
A Study on Future Projections of Precipitation Characteristics around Japan in Early Summer Combining GPM DPR Observation and CMIP5 Large-Scale Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study estimates future changes in the early summer precipitation characteristics around Japan using changes in the large-scale environment, by combining Global Precipitation Measurement precipitation radar ...
Spectral Retrieval of Latent Heating Profiles from TRMM PR Data. Part IV: Comparisons of Lookup Tables from Two- and Three-Dimensional Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spectral latent heating (SLH) algorithm was developed to estimate latent heating profiles for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMM PR). The method uses TRMM PR information (precipitation-top ...
Mismo Field Experiment in the Equatorial Indian Ocean*
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Mirai Indian Ocean cruise for the Study of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO)-convection Onset (MISMO) was a field experiment that took place in the central equatorial Indian Ocean during October?December 2006, using ...
