Enhancing PMW Satellite Precipitation Estimation: Detecting Convective Class
(AMS, 15 p.);A decades-long effort in observing precipitation from space has led to continuous improvements of satellite-derived passive microwave (PMW) large-scale precipitation products. However, due to a limited ability to relate ... -
Toward Understanding the Dynamics of Spinup in Emanuel’s Tropical Cyclone Model
(AMS, 2019-10);We seek to understand the mechanism of vortex spinup in Emanuel’s 2012 axisymmetric theory for tropical cyclone intensification in physical coordinates, starting from first principles. It is noted that, while spinup of the ... -
The Role of Vertical Wind Shear in Modulating Maximum Supercell Updraft Velocities
(AMS, 2019);Observed supercell updrafts consistently produce the fastest mid- to upper-tropospheric vertical velocities among all modes of convection. Two hypotheses for this feature are investigated. In the dynamic hypothesis, upward, ...
