Comments on “Errors in the Estimate of the Fractal Correlation Dimension of Raindrop Spatial Distribution”
(American Meteorological Society, 2001) -
Comparison of Drop Size Distribution Measurements by Impact and Optical Disdrometers
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)Simultaneous observations made with optical- and impact-type disdrometers were analyzed to broaden knowledge of these instruments. These observations were designed to test how accurately they measure drop size distributions ... -
An Adaptive Neural Network Scheme for Radar Rainfall Estimation from WSR-88D Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)Recent research has shown that neural network techniques can be used successfully for ground rainfall estimation from radar measurements. The neural network is a nonparametric method for representing the relationship between ... -
Use of the Surface Reference Technique for Path Attenuation Estimates from the TRMM Precipitation Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Estimates of rain rate from the precipitation radar (PR) aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite require a means by which the radar signal attenuation can be corrected. One of the methods available ... -
Rain-Profiling Algorithm for the TRMM Precipitation Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)This paper describes the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) standard algorithm that estimates the vertical profiles of attenuation-corrected radar reflectivity factor and rainfall rate. In particular, this paper ... -
Assimilating Surface Data to Improve the Accuracy of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Simulations
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)Large errors in atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) simulations can be caused by inaccuracies in the specification of surface characteristics in addition to assumptions and simplifications made in boundary layer formulations ... -
Combined IR–Microwave Satellite Retrieval of Temperature and Dewpoint Profiles Using Artificial Neural Networks
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)Radiance measurements from satellites offer the opportunity to retrieve atmospheric variables at much higher spatial resolution than is presently afforded by in situ measurements (e.g., radiosondes). However, the accuracy ... -
METRo: A New Model for Road-Condition Forecasting in Canada
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)A numerical model to forecast road conditions, Model of the Environment and Temperature of Roads (METRo), has been developed to run at Canadian weather centers. METRo uses roadside observations from road weather information ... -
Environmental Forcing of Supertyphoon Paka’s (1997) Latent Heat Structure
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The distribution and intensity of total (i.e., combined stratified and convective processes) rain rate/latent heat release (LHR) were derived for Tropical Cyclone Paka during the period 9?21 December 1997 from the F-10, ... -
Tropical Rainfall Distributions Determined Using TRMM Combined with Other Satellite and Rain Gauge Information
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)A technique is described to use Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) combined radar?radiometer information to adjust geosynchronous infrared satellite data [the TRMM Adjusted Geostationary Operational Environmental ... -
Characterizations of Aircraft Icing Environments that Include Supercooled Large Drops
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)Measurements of aircraft icing environments that include supercooled large drops (SLD) greater than 50 ?m in diameter have been made during 38 research flights. These flights were conducted during the First and Third ... -
Energy Balances of Curing Concrete Bridge Decks
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)Atmospheric conditions for several days after concrete is poured influence the exothermic, temperature-dependent, hydration reactions of concrete's cementitious (binding) components. Because excessively high concrete ... -
The Status of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) after Two Years in Orbit
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite was launched on 27 November 1997, and data from all the instruments first became available approximately 30 days after the launch. Since then, much progress has been ... -
The Joanne Simpson Special Issue on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)

Assessing Cloud-Phase Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)In situ microphysics measurements made during the First and Third Canadian Freezing Drizzle Experiments (CFDE I and III, respectively) have been used to assess the relative responses to ice and liquid hydrometeors for ... -
Geostatistical Mapping of Precipitation from Rain Gauge Data Using Atmospheric and Terrain Characteristics
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)A geostatistical framework for integrating lower-atmosphere state variables and terrain characteristics into the spatial interpolation of rainfall is presented. Lower-atmosphere state variables considered are specific ... -
Study and Tests of Improved Rain Estimates from the TRMM Precipitation Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)Rain rate R estimation from the 2A-25 profiling algorithm of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) is analyzed in two ways. Standard results from the operating version-5 algorithm are ... -
An Investigation of the Moving-Frame Single-Doppler Wind Retrieval Technique Using Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment Low-Level Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)The moving-frame single-Doppler radar wind retrieval technique is investigated using field experimental data observed during the 1987 Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment intensive observation period 2. Emphasis is placed on ... -
Interpretation of Polarization Features in Ground-Based Microwave Observations as Caused by Horizontally Aligned Oblate Raindrops
