Prior studies have shown that the low-level jet is a recurrent characteristic of the
environment during the initiation and mature stages of mesoscale convective systems …

This paper focuses on the tracking of mesoscale convective systems (MCS) from
geostationary satellite infrared data in the tropical regions. In the past, several automatic …

Abstract Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) and National
Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP …

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate an algorithm for tracking and forecasting
radiative and morphological characteristics of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) …

In the tropical African and neighboring Atlantic region there is a strong contrast in the
properties of deep convection between land and ocean. Here, satellite radar observations …

The knowledge of mesoscale convective system (MCS) in the Asian monsoon region
remains still deficient due to the limited available data and less powerful algorithms. Here …

This study surveys interannual to diurnal variations of tropical deep convective clouds and
convective overshooting using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit B (AMSU-B) aboard …

This study reports a multi-year (2000–2009) aerosol characterization for metropolitan
Tehran and surrounding areas using multiple datasets (Moderate Resolution Imaging …

Abstract Short-term (0–1 h) convective storm nowcasting remains a problem for operational
weather forecasting, and convective storms pose a significant monetary sink for the aviation …

Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are important to the water and energy budget of the
tropical climate and are essential ingredients of the tropical circulation. MCSs are readily …
