Mesoscale Convective Precipitation Identification in GPM Data
Explore the identification of mesoscale convective precipitation utilizing GPM data as discussed in the Bob Houze PMM Science Team meeting in San Diego. Learn about the impact of classification on LH product, object echo characteristics, comparison of different versions, modification to algorithms, and probability maps. Discover insights into v04 versus v05 data and dependencies for enhanced understanding.

Identification of Mesoscale Convective Precipitation in GPM Data Bob Houze PMM Science Team Meeting San Diego, CA October 18,2017
Object Echo Characteristic Height Area Isolated Shallow Echoes > min detectable < 4 km 2 pixels Deep Convective Cores > 40 dBZ (strong) > 10 km N/A > 1000 km2 at some altitude Wide Convective Cores > 40 dBZ (strong) > 50,000 km2 (strong) Broad Stratiform Regions Contiguous stratiform
Comparison of v05 Counts NASA/UW/UW2 (strong thresholds)
Comparison of v05 Counts NASA/UW/UW2 (mod thresholds)
Probability Maps v05 NASA vs UW (dcc,wcc,dwc,bs) See files in ~brodzik/
Compare v04, v05, v05UW Prob Maps WILL PUT THESE TOGETHER TOMORROW
Dependencies (need new word) Latitude Longitude Month/Season WILL PUT THIS TOGETHER TOMORROW
