The relative influence of environmental characteristics on tropical deep convective morphology as observed by CloudSat
Utilizing a previously developed CloudSat cloud object database, the sensitivity of oceanic, mature, deep convective cloud morphology to cloud-scale environmental characteristics is examined. Convective available potential energy (CAPE), aerosol optical depth, midlevel vertical velocity, and tropospheric deep shear are all used to characterize the environment. The sensitivity of various aspects...
متن کاملThe effect of environmental conditions on tropical deep convective systems observed from the TRMM satellite
This study uses measurements of radiation and cloud properties taken between January and August 1998 by three Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) instruments, the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) scanner, the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI), and the Visible and InfraRed Scanner (VIRS), to evaluate the variations of tropical deep convective systems (DCS) with sea surface t...
متن کاملAn Observed Tropical Oceanic Radiative–Convective Cloud Feedback
Anomalies of precipitation, cloud, thermodynamic, and radiation variables are analyzed on the large spatial scale defined by the tropical oceans. In particular, relationships between the mean tropical oceanic precipitation anomaly and radiative anomalies are examined. It is found that tropical mean precipitation is well correlated with cloud properties and radiative fields. In particular, the t...
متن کاملDeep Convective Systems Observed by A-Train in the Tropical Indo-Pacific Region Affected by the MJO
In the Indo-Pacific region, mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) occur in a pattern consistent with the eastward propagation of the large-scale convective envelope of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO). MCSs are major contributors to the total precipitation. Over the open ocean they tend to be merged or connected systems, while over the Maritime Continent area they tend to be separated or discr...
متن کاملThe Properties of Convective Clouds over the Western Pacific and Their Relationship to the Environment of Tropical Cyclones
Using data obtained from the western Pacific region during “Tropical Cyclone Structure 2008” (TCS08), ONR’s field program, this study proposes to investigate large-scale environmental conditions, mesoscale phenomena, and small-scale convective bursts, as well as their interactions that are responsible for TC formation and intensity changes. Specific objectives include 1) characterizing the inte...
