Abstract. Midlatitude mixed-phase stratocumulus clouds and their interactions with aerosols remain poorly understood. This study examines the roles of ice processes in those using a large-eddy simulation (LES) framework. Cloud mass becomes much lower presence Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen (WBF) mechanism compared to that warm clouds. is because while WBF enhances evaporation droplets, low concentration acting as ice-nucleating particles (INPs) cloud number (CINC) prevent efficient deposition...

Abstract Satellite‐based precipitation estimations provide frequent, large‐scale measurements. Deep learning has recently shown significant potential for improving estimation accuracy. Most studies have employed a two‐stage framework, which is sequential architecture of rain/no‐rain binary classification task followed by rain rate regression task. This study proposes novel retrieval framework in these two tasks are simultaneously trained using multi‐task approach (MTL). Furthermore, network...

Abstract Precipitation estimation based on passive microwave (MW) observations from low-Earth-orbiting satellites is one of the essential variables for understanding global climate. However, almost all validation studies such precipitation have focused only surface rate. This study investigates vertical profiles estimated by two MW-based retrieval algorithms, i.e., emissivity principal components (EPC) algorithm and Goddard profiling (GPROF).

本研究では大規模アンサンブルデータに適したバイアス補正手法として,バイアス保存とトレンド保存を両立する手法を提案し,既往の手法との比較を行った.全国の降雨特性が異なる複数地点で手法の検証を行ったが,概ねどの地点においても提案した手法が従来の手法よりも良好な補正結果を示した.特に,従来の手法では補正結果が顕著に過大になる地点があったが,提案した手法ではそのような過大推定は見られなかった.また,時間単位補正と日単位補正を比較した結果からは,対象とする時間単位以外には誤差が大きく,特に時間単位の補正結果を集計した日単位は非現実的な値となることがあることが示された.流域を対象とした補正結果からは,大規模アンサンブル実験結果の補正により各流域で設定された計画降雨が良好に再現されることが示された.

雨量計観測から降水強度を算出する場合,一般には,観測した降水量を対象時間で割る手法(単純法)が用いられる.転倒ます型雨量計において,単純法は対象時間が短いほど精度が悪い.著者らは,転倒時刻を統計的に推定し,累積降水量の内挿により降水強度を算出する手法(内挿法)を開発した.本研究では,ディスドロメータの観測から雨量計の模擬観測データを作成し,単純法と内挿法の精度を検証した.内挿法は単純法より優れており,特に降水強度算出対象時間が短い場合に精度の差が大きいことが分かった.また,内挿法では,雨量計記録時間分解能が短いほど精度が向上することが示された.1時間分解能の記録しかない場合において,転倒発生時刻の推定を改良することで,内挿法における1時間降水強度の算出精度をさらに改善することに成功した.
