| Zusammenfassung |
| Mediterranean storms and their associated upper level features are
diagnosed here using Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) observations.
AMSU-A channel 8 is used to identify upper-level intrusions of
stratospheric air, which are
often present upstream of heavy precipitating areas, while
a combination of AMSU-B channels 3 and 5 is chosen to discriminate moderate
to heavily precipitating areas. This precipitation detection
method provides results that are in good agreement with TRMM rainfall
product and independent ground-based precipitation
data. These tools allow us to follow the concomitant evolution
of two severe rainfall events in the Mediterranean region
and associated upper-level features. |
