Abstract: A mixed lognormal distribution is fit to rain-rate data for the purpose of estimating the space?time mean. Using Fisher information, the large sample variance is obtained for grouped and ungrouped data estimates. The ...

Abstract: A space-time statistical analysis of total outgoing infrared radiation (derived from the 10.5?12.5 ?m window measurements of the NOAA operational satellites) is used to determine the gross features of day-to-day cloudiness ...

Abstract: Diurnal variations in atmospheric convection, dynamic/thermodynamic fields, and heat/moisture budgets over the equatorial Pacific warm pool region are analyzed based on data collected from different observation platforms ...

Abstract: Nimbus 7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) measurements at five frequencies in the region 6.6 to 37 GHz, at a resolution of 155 km, are analyzed to infer precipitation over the global oceans. The microwave ...
