Validation of a Receptor–Dispersion Model Coupled with a Genetic Algorithm Using Synthetic Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A methodology for characterizing emission sources is presented that couples a dispersion and transport model with a pollution receptor model. This coupling allows the use of the backward (receptor) model to calibrate the ...
Correcting Active Scatterometer Data for the Effects of Rain Using Passive Radiometer Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model for the effects of rain on scatterometer data is proposed. Data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) and the SeaWinds scatterometer, both on the Midori-II satellite, are used. The model includes ...
Area-Averaged Surface Fluxes in a Semiarid Region with Partly Irrigated Land: Lessons Learned from EFEDA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The European Field Experiment in a Desertification-Threatened Area (EFEDA) provides a comprehensive land surface dataset for a semiarid Mediterranean environment with natural vegetation and cultivated dry and irrigated ...
Snowmelt-Related Flood Risk in Appalachia: First Estimates from a Historical Snow Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A first attempt has been made toward quantifying the risk of snowmelt-related flooding in the central and southern Appalachian Mountains of the United States (from 35° to 42°N). In the last decade, two major events occurred ...
Rain Retrieval from TMI Brightness Temperature Measurements Using a TRMM PR–Based Database
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study focuses on improving the retrieval of rain from measured microwave brightness temperatures and the capability of the retrieved field to represent the mesoscale structure of a small intense hurricane. For this ...
Critical Assessment of Microphysical Assumptions within TRMM Radiometer Rain Profile Algorithm Using Satellite, Aircraft, and Surface Datasets from KWAJEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager precipitation profile retrieval algorithm (2a12) assumes cloud model?derived vertically distributed microphysics as part of the radiative transfer?controlled ...
Inconsistencies in the “New” Windchill Chart at Low Wind Speeds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An apparent error was detected in the calculation of windchill equivalent temperatures (WCETs) in the ?new? chart and corresponding equation that were adopted in 2001 by the weather services in the United States and Canada. ...
Bayesian Estimation of Precipitation from Satellite Passive Microwave Observations Using Combined Radar–Radiometer Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation estimation from satellite passive microwave radiometer observations is a problem that does not have a unique solution that is insensitive to errors in the input data. Traditionally, to make this problem well ...
Rainfall Climate Regimes: The Relationship of Regional TRMM Rainfall Biases to the Environment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Intercomparisons of satellite rainfall products have historically focused on the issue of global mean biases. Regional and temporal variations in these biases, however, are equally important for many climate applications. ...
Rain Initiation Time in Turbulent Warm Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mean field model is presented that describes droplet growth resulting from condensation and collisions and droplet loss resulting from fallout. The model allows for an effective numerical simulation. The numerical scheme ...
