NCEP multi-sensor hourly rainfall data and ground-baed GPS zenith total delay (ZTD) were used for data assimilation and evaluation of quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) through three case studies. Improvements in QPFs were...
The geostationary satellite television (TV) signals that are reflected off the ocean surfaces could enter the AMSR-E antenna, resulting in RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) contamination in AMSR-E 10.65 and 18.7 GHz channels. If not...
The measurements from Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) have been extensively used for atmospheric temperature trend study during last several decades. The existences of inter-sensor biases and...
Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) has been flying on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite since October 28, 2011. A striping phenomenon contained in the global distribution of O (observations) minus B ...
This study aims to develop an objective hurricane initialization scheme which produces a model hurricane that not only satisfies forecast model constraints but also incorporates observed features such as the initial intensity (e.g., ...
Unlike conventional and satellite observations, the Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) techniques provide all-weather, high-vertical-resolution observations that require no calibration. In this dissertation, the...
The hyper-spectral Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) on board Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) supports a continuing advance in numerical weather prediction (NWP) for improved short- to medium-range weather forecast...
For many years tropical cyclone superensemble has shown remarkable skill in forecasting Atlantic tropical cyclone track and intensity. In this project tropical cyclone superensemble is applied to Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone...
MicroWave Humidity Sounder (MWHS) onboard both FY-3A and FY-3B satellites have three channels (channels 3-5) near 183 GHz water vapor absorption line. These channel frequencies are also used in other instruments such as Advanced...
