Representation of tropical deep convection in atmospheric models - Part 1 : Meteorology and comparison with satellite observations [PDF]
Fast convective transport in the tropics can efficiently redistribute water vapour and pollutants up to the upper troposphere. In this study we compare tropical convection characteristics for the year 2005 in a range of atmospheric models, including ...

Object-Based Assessment of Satellite Precipitation Products [PDF]
An object-based verification approach is employed to assess the performance of the commonly used high-resolution satellite precipitation products: Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN), Climate Prediction center MORPHing technique (CMORPH), and Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM ...

Comparison of the characteristic energy of precipitating electrons derived from ground-based and DMSP satellite data [PDF]
International audienceEnergy maps are important for ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling studies, because quantitative determination of field-aligned currents requires knowledge of the conductances and their spatial gradients.

Determining the size of lightning-induced electron precipitation patches [PDF]
[1] We analyze Trimpi signatures during 23 and 24 April 1994 at four sites on or near the Antarctic Peninsula (Palmer, Faraday, Rothera, and Halley) on subionospheric VLF signals received from four U. S.
