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 ...

The heat budget of the TOGA‐COARE domain in an ocean model

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1991
The annual mean heat budget of the TOGA‐COARE domain is examined in a reduced‐gravity, primitive equation model of the upper equatorial ocean that is described by Gent and Cane (1989). It is forced by the monthly winds from Rasmusson and Carpenter (1982), and the heat flux formulation is from Seager et al. (1988).

TOGA COARE: Oceanic Lightning

Monthly Weather Review, 1996
Abstract A lightning detection network composed of three direction finders was installed in the western Pacific during TOGA COARE. The results are reported from one direction finder, at Kavieng, Papua New Guinea, for the months of January and February 1993, the latter half of the TOGA COARF 4-month period. Land and ocean sectors were defined.

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.

ARMAR observations during TOGA/COARE

Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002
The NASA/JPL Airborne Rain Mapping Radar (ARMAR) was deployed for rainfall observations during TOGA/COARE on the NASA DC-8 aircraft. A total of /spl sim/30 hours of rain profiling measurements were collected over the Western Pacific Ocean during January and February 1993.

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 ...

Climate Model Forecast Experiments for TOGA COARE

Monthly Weather Review, 2008
Abstract Short-term (1–10 day) forecasts are made with climate models to assess the parameterizations of the physical processes. The time period for the integrations is that of the intensive observing period (IOP) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE).

Recent Climatology of Kinematic Variables in the TOGA-COARE Region

Journal of Climate, 1995
Abstract The importance of the “warm pool” region of the western Pacific on in situ and global-scale circulations has gained wide recognition in the last decade with the advent of TOGA and, more recently, with the field experiment TOGA-COARE. The objectives of this study are two fold: 1)to provide a climatology of the kinematic properties of the ...
