Drop Size Distributions and Radar Observations of Convective and Stratiform Rain over the Equatorial Indian and West Pacific Oceans
Two-dimensional video disdrometer (2DVD) data were analyzed from two equatorial Indian (Gan) and west Pacific Ocean (Manus) islands where precipitation is primarily organized by the intertropical convergence zone and theMadden–Julian oscillation (MJO). The 18 (3.5) months of 2DVDdata fromManus (Gan) Island show that 1) the two sites have similar drop size distribution (DSD) spectra of liquid wa...
متن کاملSeparation of Convective and Stratiform Precipitation Using Microwave Brightness Temperature
This paper presents a new scheme that classifies convective and stratiform (C/S) precipitation areas over oceans using microwave brightness temperature. In this scheme, data are first screened to eliminate nonraining pixels. For raining pixels, C/S indices are computed from brightness temperatures and their variability for emission (19 and 37 GHz) and scattering (85 GHz). Since lower-resolution...
متن کاملRelating magnetic reconnection to coronal heating.
It is clear that the solar corona is being heated and that coronal magnetic fields undergo reconnection all the time. Here we attempt to show that these two facts are related--i.e. coronal reconnection generates heat. This attempt must address the fact that topological change of field lines does not automatically generate heat. We present one case of flux emergence where we have measured the ra...
متن کاملComparison of Thermal Comfort by Radiant Heating and Convective Heating
Currently, convective heating with a heat-pump system, which has high energy efficiency, is popular for room heating. However, it is possible that energy savings using convective heating can be further improved using heat pumps that service both occupied and unoccupied spaces. Moreover, convective heating increases vertical temperature gradients in a room; thus, it is hard to say whether occupa...
متن کاملDynamics of intense convective rain cells
Intense precipitation events are often convective in nature. A deeper understanding of the properties and the dynamics of convective rain cells is, therefore, necessary both from a physical and operational point of view. The aim of this work is to study the spatial-temporal properties of convective rain cells by using a fully parameterized nonhydrostatic code (Lokal Model) in simplified model c...
