Infrared Continental Surface Emissivity Spectra and Skin Temperature Retrieved from IASI Observations over the TropicsJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology - Tập 51 Số 6 - Trang 1164-1179 - 2012
V. Capelle, A. Chédin, Eric Péquignot, Peter Schlüssel, Stuart M. Newman, N. A. Scott
AbstractLand surface temperature and emissivity spectra are essential variables for improving models of the earth surface–atmosphere interaction or retrievals of atmospheric variables such as thermodynamic profiles, chemical composition, cloud and aerosol characteristics, and so on. In most cases, emissivity spectral variations are not correctly taken into account ...... hiện toàn bộ
Finescale Diurnal Rainfall Statistics Refined from Eight Years of TRMM PR DataJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology - Tập 47 Số 2 - Trang 544-561 - 2008
Masafumi Hirose, Riko Oki, Shuji Shimizu, Misako Kachi, Tomohiko Higashiuwatoko
Abstract
The adequacy of hourly rainfall sampling was examined in terms of the detection of diurnal variations using 8 yr (1998–2005) of data observed by the precipitation radar on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. It was found that the monthly and hourly rain samples for each 0.2° grid point over the 8-yr period are composed ...... hiện toàn bộ
Impacts of Projected Climate Change over the Lake Champlain Basin in VermontJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology - Tập 53 Số 8 - Trang 1861-1875 - 2014
Justin Guilbert, Brian Beckage, Jonathan M. Winter, Radley Horton, Timothy D. Perkins, Arne Bomblies
AbstractThe Lake Champlain basin is a critical ecological and socioeconomic resource of the northeastern United States and southern Quebec, Canada. While general circulation models (GCMs) provide an overview of climate change in the region, they lack the spatial and temporal resolution necessary to fully anticipate the effects of rising global temperatures associat...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of High-Resolution Satellite Precipitation Products over Very Complex Terrain in EthiopiaJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology - Tập 49 Số 5 - Trang 1044-1051 - 2010
Feyera A. Hirpa, Mekonnen Gebremichael, T. M. Hopson
Abstract
This study focuses on the evaluation of 3-hourly, 0.25° × 0.25°, satellite-based precipitation products: the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3B42RT, the NOAA/Climate Prediction Center morphing technique (CMORPH), and Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artifi...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of Global Precipitation in ReanalysesJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology - Tập 47 Số 9 - Trang 2279-2299 - 2008
Michael G. Bosilovich, Junye Chen, Franklin R. Robertson, Robert F. Adler
Abstract
Retrospective-analysis (or reanalysis) systems merge observations and models to provide global four-dimensional earth system data encompassing many physical and dynamical processes. Precipitation is one critical diagnostic that is not only sensitive to the observing system and model physics, but also reflects the general circulation. Climate...... hiện toàn bộ
Raindrop Size Distribution in a Midlatitude Continental Squall Line Measured by Thies Optical Disdrometers over East ChinaJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology - Tập 55 Số 3 - Trang 621-634 - 2016
Baojun Chen, Jun Wang, Dianli Gong
AbstractDisdrometer data measured by ground-based optical disdrometers during a midlatitude continental squall line event on 18 August 2012 in Shandong Province, eastern China, are analyzed to study characteristics of raindrop size distribution (DSD). Four disdrometers simultaneously performed continuous measurements during the passage of the convective line. The c...... hiện toàn bộ
Microphysical Characteristics and Evolution of Seeded Orographic CloudsJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology - Tập 60 Số 7 - Trang 909-934 - 2021

AbstractThe spatial distribution and magnitude of snowfall resulting from cloud seeding with silver iodide (AgI) is closely linked to atmospheric conditions, seeding operations, and dynamical, thermodynamical, and microphysical processes. Here, microphysical processes leading to ice and snow production are analyzed in orographic clouds for three cloud-seeding event...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of the Urban Heat Island Effect on Precipitation over a Complex Geographic Environment in Northern TaiwanJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology - Tập 50 Số 2 - Trang 339-353 - 2011
Chuan‐Yao Lin, Wan‐Chin Chen, Pao‐Liang Chang, Yang‐Fan Sheng
Abstract
To evaluate the impacts of the urban heat island (UHI) effect on precipitation over a complex geographic environment in northern Taiwan, the next-generation mesoscale model, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, coupled with the Noah land surface model and urban canopy model (UCM), was used to study this issue. Based on a better ...... hiện toàn bộ
A 10-yr Climatology of Tibetan Plateau Vortices with NCEP Climate Forecast System ReanalysisJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology - Tập 53 Số 1 - Trang 34-46 - 2014
Xinyuan Feng, Changhai Liu, Roy Rasmussen, Guangzhou Fan
AbstractA 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 over the plateau, but the knowledge of its climatology and understanding of generation mechanisms are limited because of the lack of a...... hiện toàn bộ
