Observations of a Super Cloud Cluster Accompanied by Synoptic-Scale Eastward-Propagating Precipitating Systems over the Indian Ocean
Description: The multiscale structure of a super cloud cluster (SCC) over the equatorial Indian Ocean, observed in November and December 2006, was investigated using data from satellite microwave sensors and surface-based radars. The results demonstrate the advantage of satellite microwave sensors over infrared ones in monitoring the multiscale structure of tropical convection. [Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences]
