RISPatterns of Diurnal Marine Stratocumulus Cloud Fraction Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he spatial patterns of subtropical marine stratocumulus cloud fraction variability on diurnal time scales are examined using high-temporal-resolution cloud masks that are based on 30-min, 4 km ? 4 km geosynchronous infrared ...
Three-Dimensional Kinematic and Microphysical Evolution of Florida Cumulonimbus. Part I: Spatial Distribution of Updrafts, Downdrafts, and Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper is the first in a three-part study that examines the kinematic and microphysical evolution of Florida cumulonimbus and focuses on the convective-to-stratiform transition of the storm. This first paper lays the ...
Three-Dimensional Kinematic and Microphysical Evolution of Florida Cumulonimbus. Part III: Vertical Mass Transport, Mass Divergence, and Synthesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical technique is employed to examine the evolving properties of the ensemble small-scale variability of high-resolution radar data collected in a multicellular Florida thunderstorm. This paper examines vertical ...
Rainfall Measurement on Ship Revisited: The 1997 PACS TEPPS Cruise
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fifteen rain measurement instruments were deployed on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Ship Ronald H. Brown during the 1997 Pan American Climate Studies (PACS) Tropical Eastern Pacific Process Study ...
Three-Dimensional Kinematic and Microphysical Evolution of Florida Cumulonimbus. Part II: Frequency Distributions of Vertical Velocity, Reflectivity, and Differential Reflectivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution radar data collected in Florida during the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment are used to elucidate the microphysical and kinematic processes occurring during the transition of a ...
The Impact of Coastal Boundaries and Small Hills on the Precipitation Distribution across Southern Connecticut and Long Island, New York
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The modification of precipitation by the coastal land areas of Long Island (LI), New York, and southern Connecticut (CT) is examined for an extratropical cyclone over the northeast United States on 1 December 2004, which ...
Instability Characteristics of Radar-Derived Mesoscale Organization Modes within Cool-Season Precipitation near Portland, Oregon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he instability characteristics associated with different radar-derived mesoscale organization modes are examined using six cool seasons of operational scanning radar data near Portland, Oregon, and operational sounding ...
Measurements of Raindrop Size Distributions over the Pacific Warm Pool and Implications for Z–R Relations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Raindrop images obtained on research flights of the NCAR Electra aircraft in the Tropical Oceans Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) are analyzed. The drop size distributions, based ...
The 1997 Pan American Climate Studies Tropical Eastern Pacific Process Study. Part I: ITCZ Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Pan American Climate Studies Tropical Eastern Pacific Process Study (TEPPS) obtained a comprehensive set of observations of the structure of clouds and precipitating storms over the eastern tropical Pacific from 28 ...
Subdiurnal Stratocumulus Cloud Fraction Variability and Sensitivity to Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents an analysis of subtropical marine stratocumulus cloud fraction variability using a 30-min and 3° ? 3° cloud fraction dataset from 2003 to 2010. Each of the three subtropical marine stratocumulus regions ...
