Characteristics of Convective Clouds Over the Indian Monsoon Zone from Weather Radar Data
Deep convective clouds play an important role in global energy balance through vertical transport of water vapor, momentum and energy, altering radiation and also influence hydrological cycle via precipitation. These clouds ... -
Cloud Properties Over SHAR Region Derived From Weather RADAR Data
(2011-01-18)Weather radars are increasingly used for the study of clouds, understanding the precipitation systems and also for forecasting very short range weather (one hour to a few hours). Now, Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) data are ... -
Vertical Structure of Convective Clouds Using the TRMM PR Data
Very small fractional area (0.1%) occupied by the cumulonimbus (Cb) clouds belies their importance in Earths hydrological cycle and climate. For example, Riehl and Malkus (1958) estimated that the vertical transport of ...
