Sampling of the Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation Using TRMM [PDF]
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2002 We examine the temporal sampling of tropical regions using observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR). We conclude that PR estimates at any one hour, even using three years of data, are inadequate to describe the diurnal cycle of precipitation over regions smaller than 12 degrees,

The influence of sea- and land-breeze circulations on the diurnal variability in precipitation over a tropical island [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 This study examines the diurnal variation in precipitation over Hainan Island in the South China Sea using gauge observations from 1951 to 2012 and Climate Prediction Center MORPHing technique (CMORPH) satellite estimates from 2006 to 2015, as well as

Intraseasonal Variability of the Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation in the Philippines [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2019 AbstractPrecipitation in the region surrounding the South China Sea over land and coastal waters exhibits a strong diurnal cycle associated with a land–sea temperature contrast that drives a sea-breeze circulation. The boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) is an important modulator of diurnal precipitation patterns, an understanding of which ...

Island precipitation enhancement and the diurnal cycle in radiative‐convective equilibrium [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2014 To understand why tropical islands are rainier than nearby ocean areas, we explore how a highly idealized island, which differs from the surrounding ocean only in heat capacity, might respond to the diurnal cycle and influence the tropical climate, especially the spatial distribution of rainfall and the thermal structure of the troposphere.

Diurnal Cycle of Passive Microwave Brightness Temperatures over Land at a Global Scale
Remote Sensing, 2021 Satellite-borne passive microwave radiometers provide brightness temperature (TB) measurements in a large spectral range which includes a number of frequency channels and generally two polarizations: horizontal and vertical.

Analyses of Maximum Precipitation in Brazil and the Variability of Diurnal Cycle
The 7th International Electronic Conference on Water Sciences, 2023 According to recent works, the diurnal cycle is more geographically pronounced in places such as South America; and this analysis aims to observe how climate variability is associated with meteorological phenomena at different scales. For this, a set of hourly data from rain gauges throughout Brazil was collected, and through 411 automatic rain gauges,

Comparison of the diurnal variations of warm-season precipitation for East Asia vs. North America downstream of the Tibetan Plateau vs. the Rocky Mountains [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 A wave-number-frequency spectral decomposition technique is used to analyze the high-resolution NOAA/Climate Prediction Center morphing technique (CMORPH) precipitation data set and to explore the differences and similarities of the diurnal variation of ...
