60- to 1-Min Rainfall-Rate Conversion: Comparison of Existing Prediction Methods with Data Obtained in the Southeast Asia Region
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)Rainfall-rate statistics are frequently derived on the basis of rain gauge recordings with effective integration times of 10 min or longer. The conversion of such data to equivalent statistics for an effective integration ... -
A 0.01° Resolving TRMM PR Precipitation Climatology
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractIn this study, rainfall data are prepared at a 0.01° scale using 16-yr spaceborne radar data over the area of 36.13°S?36.13°N as provided by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR). ... -
A 10-Year Climatology of Midlevel Mesoscale Vortices in China
(2022)The mesoscale vortex (MV) is an important rain-producing system. In this study, the reanalysis data and satellite precipitation products are used to classify MVs into three categories: mesoscale convective vortex (MCV), ... -
A 10-yr Climatology of Tibetan Plateau Vortices with NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)plateau vortex refers to a shallow meso-α-scale cyclonic vortex that is usually confined to near-surface levels (500 hPa) over the Tibetan Plateau during warm seasons. It is the major precipitation-producing weather system ... -

A 65-yr Climatology of Unusual Tracks of Tropical Cyclones in the Vicinity of China’s Coastal Waters during 1949–2013
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractDespite steady improvements in tropical cyclone (TC) track forecasts, it still remains challenging to predict unusual TC tracks (UNTKs), such as the tracks of sharp turning or looping TCs, especially after they ... -
A Bayesian Approach to Upscaling and Downscaling of Aircraft Measurements of Ice Particle Counts and Size Distributions
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)his study addresses the issue of how to upscale cloud-sized in situ measurements of ice to yield realistic simulations of ice clouds for a variety of modeling studies. Aircraft measurements of ice particle counts along a ... -
A Beta Regression Model for Improved Solar Radiation Predictions
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)redicting global solar radiation is an integral part of much environmental modeling. There are several approaches for predicting global solar radiation at a site where no instrumentation exists. One popular approach uses ... -
A Binned Approach to Cloud-Droplet Riming Implemented in a Bulk Microphysics Model
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)This paper presents the development and application of a binned approach to cloud-droplet riming within a bulk microphysics model. This approach provides a more realistic representation of collision?coalescence that occurs ... -
A Case Study of Cloud Radar Observations and Large-Eddy Simulations of a Shallow Stratiform Orographic Cloud, and the Impact of Glaciogenic Seeding
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)he impact of glaciogenic seeding on precipitation remains uncertain, mainly because of the noisy nature of precipitation. Operational seeding programs often target cold-season orographic clouds because of their abundance ... -
