NARR’s Atmospheric Water Cycle Components. Part II: Summertime Mean and Diurnal Interactions

Diurnal Cycle in Atmospheric Water over Switzerland

The TROpospheric WAter RAdiometer (TROWARA) is a ground-based microwave radiometer with an additional infrared channel observing atmospheric water parameters in Bern, Switzerland. TROWARA measures with nearly all-weather capability during dayand nighttime with a high temporal resolution (about 10 s). Using the almost complete data set from 2004 to 2016, we derive and discuss the diurnal cycles ...

Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer Part II: Water Vapor and Atmospheric Aerosols

Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) spectra provide detailed characterization of the infrared component of the surface radiation budget (Ellingson et al. 1995), support spectroscopic (Clough et al. 1989; Revercomb et al. 1995) and cloud (Smith et al. 1992; Collard et al. 1995) radiative modeling studies for improving radiative transfer calculations, and are the basis for high tim...

Diurnal cycle of summertime deep convection over North America: A satellite perspective

[1] High-resolution (0.1 0.1 ) geostationary satellite infrared radiances at 11 mm in combination with gridded (2.5 2.0 ) hourly surface precipitation observations are employed to document the spatial structure of the diurnal cycle of summertime deep convection and associated precipitation over North America. Comparison of the diurnal cycle pattern between the satellite retrieval and surface ob...
