| 内容記述 | During the 1998 hurricane season, three hurricanes were sampled by the Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) which was flown aboard the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ER-2 high altitude aircraft during the Third Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX-3). The ER-2 aircraft was deployed from Patrick Air Force Base, Florida for hurricane missions over the Atlantic Basin and Gulf of Mexico between 6 August - 23 September. Hurricanes Bonnie, Danielle and Georges were each sampled multiple times during several subsequent aircraft missions. The passive microwave observations of these hurricanes collected by the AMPR at 10.7, 19.35, 37.1, and 85.5 GHz frequencies will be presented to explain differences in precipitation features of the hurricanes. In particular, the relationship of the passive microwave signatures of precipitation-sized ice to vertical updraft strength will be examined as a possible indicator of future convective intensity. Correlating aircraft radar information will also be examined to provide further insight. |
