The structure of convective rain cells at mid-latitudes
, 2006 International audienceRain cells are structures which represent an important component of convective precipitation and a study of their properties represents a necessary step both towards improved stochastic models of small-scale precipitation and for ...

Implications of Microphysics for Cloud-Radiation Parameterizations: Lessons from TOGA COARE
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2000 Abstract A single-column model (SCM) and observational data collected during TOGA COARE were used to investigate the sensitivity of model-produced cloud properties and radiative fluxes to the representation of cloud microphysics in the cloud-radiation parameterizations.

Role of Gravity Waves in Triggering Deep Convection during TOGA COARE
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2002 The role of gravity waves in the initiation of convection over oceanic regions during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) experiment is investigated. First, an autocorrelation method is applied to infrared temperature observations of convective events from satellite images.

The Impact of Aerosols on Cloud and Precipitation Processes: Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations [PDF]
Recently, a detailed spectral-bin microphysical scheme was implemented into the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) model. Atmospheric aerosols are also described using number density size-distribution functions.

Spectral Retrieval of Latent Heating Profiles from TRMM PR data [PDF]
The global hydrological cycle is central to the Earth's climate system, with rainfall and the physics of precipitation formation acting as the key links in the cycle. Two-thirds of global rainfall occurs in the tropics with the associated latent heating (

WetNet: Using SSM/I data interactively for global distribution of tropical rainfall and precipitable water [PDF]
The research objectives were the following: (1) to use SSM/I to categorize, measure, and parameterize effects of rainfall systems around the globe, especially mesoscale convective systems; (2) to use SSM/I to monitor key components of the global ...
