The large-scale spatio-temporal variability of precipitation over Sweden observed from the weather radar network
Using measurements from the national network of 12 weather radar stations for the 11-year period 2000–2010, we investigate the large-scale spatio-temporal variability of precipitation over Sweden. These statistics provide useful information to evaluate regional climate models as well as for hydrology and energy applications. A strict quality control is applied to filter out noise and artifacts ...
متن کاملVertical Structure of Tropical Cyclone Rainbands as Seen by the TRMM Precipitation Radar
Ten years of data from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission satellite’s Precipitation Radar (TRMM PR) show the vertical structure of tropical cyclone rainbands. Radar-echo statistics show that rainbands have a two-layered structure, with distinct modes separated by the melting layer. The ice layer is a combination of particles imported from the eyewall and ice left aloft as convective cell...
متن کاملRecent observed and simulated changes in precipitation over Africa
Multiple observational data sets and atmosphere-only simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 are analyzed to characterize recent rainfall variability and trends over Africa focusing on 1983–2010. Data sets exhibiting spurious variability, linked in part to a reduction in rain gauge density, were identified. The remaining observations display coherent increases in annu...
متن کاملSeasonality in affective disorders in Switzerland.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and its subsyndromal form (S-SAD) in Switzerland (47 degrees N). METHOD A representative sample from all three language areas of Switzerland (n = 980) were given a structured telephone interview using the extended Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ+). A smaller, but also representative sample in the city of...
متن کاملSimilarities and Improvements of GPM Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) upon TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR) in Global Precipitation Rate Estimation, Type Classification and Vertical Profiling
Spaceborne precipitation radars are powerful tools used to acquire adequate and highquality precipitation estimates with high spatial resolution for a variety of applications in hydrological research. The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, which deployed the first spaceborne Kaand Ku-dual frequency radar (DPR), was launched in February 2014 as the upgraded successor of the Tropical...
