Research Activities
Tropical Cyclones
Currently I am involved in investigating TCs using the TRMM satellite:
Ph. D. Dissertation : Reflectivity, Ice Scattering, and Lightning Characteristics of Hurricane Eyewalls and Rainbands
Preprint
for 2000 Hurricane Conference : An Investigation Of Precipitation Structures In Hurricane Bonnie
Preprint
for 2000 Hurricane Conference : Reflectivity, Ice Scattering, And Lightning Characteristics Of Tropical Cyclone Eyewalls, Inner Rainbands, And Outer Rainbands
Preprint
for 1999 Radar Conference : Distributions of Radar Reflectivity Profiles
and Microwave Brightness Temperatures Observed in Tropical Cyclone Eyewalls
and Rainbands (More preliminary results than those presented at 2000 Hurricane Conference)
Thesis proposal
Resume
CAMEX-3
Hurricane Bonnie Landfall Mission
My M.S. Thesis examines 85 GHz observations of tropical cyclones (TC)
and their relationships with TC intensity. Relationships between lightning
occurence and intensity are also examined. This study has been published
in the January 1999 (Vol. 127, No. 1, pp. 103-123) Monthly
Weather Review.The abstract is given here
