Moustafa T. Chahine,Thomas S. Pagano,Hartmut H. Aumann,Robert Atlas,Christopher D. Barnet,John Blaisdell,Luke Chen,Murty Divakarla,Eric Fetzer,Mitch Goldberg,Catherine Gautier,Stephanie Granger,Scott E. Hannon,Fredrick W. Irion,Ramesh K. Kakar,Eugenia Kalnay,Bjorn Lambrigtsen,Sung-Yung Lee,John Le Marshall,W. W. McMillan,Larry M. McMillin,Edward T. Olsen,Henry E. Revercomb,Philip W. Rosenkranz,William L. Smith,David H. Staelin,L. Larrabee Strow,Joel Susskind,David C. Tobin,Walter Wolf,Lihang Zhou +30 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the performance of AIRS and examine how it is meeting its operational and research objectives based on the experience of more than 2 years with AIRS data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical Moist Thermodynamic Structure and Spatial–Temporal Evolution of the MJO in AIRS Observations
TL;DR: The atmospheric moisture and temperature profiles from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)/Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit on the NASA Aqua mission, in combination with the precipitation from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), are employed to study the vertical moist thermodynamic structure and spatial-temporal evolution of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Update on the Oceanic Precipitation Rate and Its Zonal Distribution in Light of Advanced Observations from Space
Ali Behrangi,Graeme L. Stephens,Robert F. Adler,George J. Huffman,Bjorn Lambrigtsen,Matthew Lebsock +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used complementary information from advanced precipitation measuring sensors and provided an independent reference to assess current precipitation products, such as precipitation estimates from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) and CloudSat cloud profiling radar (CPR) as the two complementary sensors yield an unprecedented range of sensitivity to quantify rainfall from drizzle through the most intense rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
NASA's Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) Field Experiment
Scott A. Braun,Ramesh K. Kakar,E. Zipser,Gerald M. Heymsfield,Cerese Albers,Shannon Brown,Stephen L. Durden,Stephen R. Guimond,Jeffery Halverson,Andrew J. Heymsfield,Syed Ismail,Bjorn Lambrigtsen,Timothy L. Miller,Simone Tanelli,Janel Rae Thomas,Jon Zawislak +15 more
TL;DR: In 2010, NASA, NOAA, and the National Science Foundation (NSF) conducted separate but closely coordinated hurricane field campaigns, bringing to bear a combined seven aircraft with both new and mature observing technologies as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Status of High latitude precipitation estimates from observations and reanalyses.
Ali Behrangi,Matthew Christensen,Matthew Christensen,Mark Richardson,Matthew Lebsock,Graeme L. Stephens,George J. Huffman,David T. Bolvin,Robert F. Adler,Alex S. Gardner,Bjorn Lambrigtsen,Eric J. Fetzer +11 more
TL;DR: The precipitation products from CloudSat provide an independent assessment to other widely used products, these being the observationally-based GPCP, GPCC and CMAP products and the ERA-Interim, MERRA and NCEP-DOE R2 reanalyses.
