Rainfall Modification by Major Urban Areas: Observations from Spaceborne Rain Radar on the TRMM Satellite
TL;DR: In this article, data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite's precipitation radar (PR) were employed to identify warm season rainfall (1998-2000) patterns around Atlanta, Georgia; Montgomery, Alabama; Nashville, Tennessee; and San Antonio, Waco, and Dallas, Texas.
Journal ArticleDOI

V. Mohan Karyampudi,Stephen P. Palm,John A. Reagen,Hui Fang,William B. Grant,Raymond M. Hoff,Cyril Moulin,Harold Pierce,Omar Torres,Edward V. Browell,S. Harvey Melfi +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed synoptic analysis including satellite-derived optical depths, vertical lidar backscattering cross section profiles, and back trajectories of the 16-19 September 1994 Saharan dust outbreak over the easte was performed.

Contribution of Tropical Cyclones to the North Pacific Climatological Rainfall as Observed from Satellites
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimated tropical cyclone monthly rainfall amounts from passive microwave satellite observations for an eleven year period and used these satellite-derived rainfall amounts to assess the impact of tropical cyclones in altering the geographical, seasonal, and inter-annual distribution of the North Pacific Ocean total rainfall during June-November when tropicalcyclones are most important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warm Core Structure of Hurricane Erin Diagnosed from High Altitude Dropsondes during CAMEX-4
Jeffrey B. Halverson,Joanne Simpson,Gerald M. Heymsfield,Harold Pierce,Terry Hock,L. Ritchie +5 more
TL;DR: A combination of multiaircraft and several satellite sensors were used to examine the core of Hurricane Erin on 10 September 2001, as part of the Fourth Convection and Moisture Experiment (CAMEX-4) program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synoptic-Scale Influence of the Saharan Air Layer on Tropical Cyclogenesis over the Eastern Atlantic
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of Hurricane Andrew, Tropical Storm Ernesto, and Hurricane Luis were investigated by utilizing the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) gridded data analyses.
