Aircraft observations of the surface energy balance in TOGA‐COARE

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1998
AbstractThe TOGA‐COARE (Tropical Ocean/Global Atmosphare Coupled Ocean‐Atomspahere Response Experiment) was in an international observational campaign designed to study the processes that occur in the Pacific warm pool region. Data from the Meteorologiacal Research Flight C130 aircraft are presented to illustrate some of the characteristics of the ...

Satellite Observations during TOGA COARE: Large-Scale Descriptive Overview

Monthly Weather Review, 1994
Abstract The 1992/93 Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) was specifically designed to monitor multiscale interactions between the atmosphere and ocean over the western Pacific warm pool. To help meet this objective, satellite observations were used to augment the enhanced COARE conventional data array ...

Diurnal variation of tropical convection during TOGA COARE IOP

Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2005
Diurnal variation of tropical convection and kinematic and thermodynamic conditions was investigated for different large-scale environments of the convectively active and inactive periods by using satellite observations and surface measurements during the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere/Coupled Ocean ...

Lightning in the Region of the TOGA COARE

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1997
Abstract In the fall of 1992 a lightning direction finder network was deployed in the western Pacific Ocean in the area of Papua New Guinea. Direction finders were installed on Kapingamarangi Atoll and near the towns of Rabaul and Kavieng, Papua New Guinea.

Microwave multisensor rainfall retrieval applied to TOGA-COARE observations

1995 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, IGARSS '95. Quantitative Remote Sensing for Science and Applications, 2002
Rainfall retrieval estimation algorithms, based on passive and active microwave sensor data, are applied to along-track nadir-looking observations of a cyclone over ocean that occurred on February 8, 1993 during TOGA-COARE. The estimated rainfall rates derived from the radiometer data are compared with those obtained from ARMAR radar.

ARMAR observations of the melting layer during TOGA COARE

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1997
The NASA/JPL Airborne Rain MApping Radar (ARMAR) was operated on the NASA DC-8 aircraft during TOGA COARE in early 1993. On 12 flights ARMAR observed stratiform precipitation associated with mesoscale convective systems. The statistics of 16 melting layer parameters, including maximum reflectivity, cooling rate, Doppler velocity, LDR, and the HH-VV ...

TOGA COARE Aircraft Mission Summary Images: An Electronic Atlas

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1995
An electronic atlas of research aircraft missions in TOGA COARE (Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment) has been prepared and is available on the Internet via WorldWide Web browsers such as Mosaic. These maps are in the form of time sequences of color imagery assembled using the NCAR Zebra software.

Shipboard Radar Rainfall Patterns within the TOGA COARE IFA

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1997
Abstract Radar rainfall measurements over the equatorial western Pacific warm pool were collected by two shipboard Doppler radars as part of the Tropical Oceans Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment during the intensive observing period (November 1992–February 1993).

Radiant heating of the western equatorial Pacific during TOGA‐COARE

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1998
Optical, physical, and biological data collected in the western Pacific warm waterpool (WWP) as part of the Tropical Ocean‐Global Atmosphere‐Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA‐COARE) are used to assess variations in the transmission of solar radiation through the water column, to investigate factors that regulate in‐water solar ...
