(2013-12-10)The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) 2A23 algorithm classifies rain echo as stratiform or convective while the 2A25 algorithm corrects vertical profiles of radar reflectivity for attenuation ...
-
(2015-08-19)Vertical profiles of heating (Q1) are a result of the interaction between radiative heating, eddy sensible heat transport, and latent heating from cloud and precipitation systems. The third component is the largest by an ...

(2009-06-02)During the first three-and-a-half years of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), the TRMM satellite operated at a nominal altitude of 350 km. To reduce drag, save maneuvering fuel, and prolong the mission lifetime, ...
-
(2018-11-02)In the East Pacific intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) radar-based latent heating retrievals suggest a top-heavy structure; however, the TRMM precipitation radar (PR) ...

(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) data are used in this study to reveal diurnal variations of precipitation over the Tropics (30◦S − 30◦N) ...

A Multi-Decadal Precipitation Evaluation for Namibia Using Satellite, Model, and Ground-Based Data (2019-06-18)Precipitation in southern Africa exhibits high variability with rain often falling in an intense deluge or not at all. Considerable research has gone into understanding what drives precipitation in southern Africa and how ...
-
(2016-04-04)The Lomb-Scargle discrete Fourier transform (LSDFT) is a fairly popular technique for analyzing time series within the astronomy community. However, this algorithm is largely unknown in many other disciplines, despite many ...

(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This study evaluates the simulation of tropical precipitation by the Community Climate Model, Version 3, developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. For an evaluation of the annual cycle of precipitation, ...
