Cloud-Precipitation Parameters and Radiative Forcing of Warm Precipitating Cloud over the Tropical Pacific Ocean Based on TRMM Datasets and Radiative Transfer Model

Cloud-Precipitation Parameters and Radiative Forcing of Warm Precipitating Cloud over the Tropical Pacific Ocean Based on TRMM Datasets and Radiative Transfer Model

An approach is proposed for combining observations from the Precipitation Radar (PR) and the Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) onboard the TRMM (Topical Rainfall Measuring Mission) satellite to investigate the climatology of warm precipitating cloud (WPC) microphysical properties, such as cloud ef...
