The Estimation of Monthly Rainfall from Satellite Da
The global distribution of precipitation is an outstanding example of a pattern whose form cannot be deduced very satisfactorily from conventional observational data. Many investigations of the global hydrological cycle across real periods of time are based on broadly generalized assumptions concerning rainfall patterns, especially over the world’s oceans. This paper explores the feasibility of...
متن کاملObjective identification of cloud regimes in the Tropical Western Pacific
[1] Identifying cloud regimes and their role in the climate system can serve a multitude of purposes, ranging from a better understanding of clouds to guiding field experiments to improving the representation of clouds in models. This study describes early results in identifying cloud regimes from ISCCP data using cluster analysis. A simple algorithm for cloud regime identification is introduce...
متن کاملGMS-5 Satellite-Derived Cloud Properties Over the Tropical Western Pacific
Satellite monitoring is used to supplement the paucity of surface data in the Tropical Western Pacific (TWP). By using satellite data, cloud properties and top-of-atmosphere broadband radiative fluxes can be derived and used for a variety of applications. In turn, these products may be used to develop a climatological base for the TWP. The focus of this study is to produce satellite-derived clo...
متن کاملThe Radiative, Cloud, and Thermodynamic Properties of the Major Tropical Western Pacific Cloud Regimes
This study investigates the radiative, cloud, and thermodynamic characteristics of the atmosphere separated into objectively defined cloud regimes in the tropical western Pacific (TWP). A cluster analysis is applied to 2 yr of daytime-only data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) to identify four major cloud regimes in the TWP region. A variety of data collected a...
متن کاملestimation of the daily rainfall amount in province of khorasan
abstract agricultural scientists have developed considerable interest in modeling and generation of rainfall as new ways of analyzing rainfall data and assessing its impact on agriculture. a combination of markov chain and gamma distribution function is recognized as a simple approach and is demonstrated to be effective in generating daily rainfall data for many environments. thus the availabil...
