  1. Improving GOES-R Cloud and Precipitation Products Associated with DCSs using NEXRAD Radar Network over Continental USA Cold Cloud Shield (GOES) NEXRAD GOES • PI: Xiquan Dong (NEXRAD&GOESClassification),Uni. of North Dakota • Co-PI: Zhanqing Li (MODISCloud Properties), University of Maryland • Collaborator:Bob Kuligowski (SCaMPRPrecipitation), NOAA NESDIS Convective Stratiform Thin Anvil Thick Anvil Tran.

  2. Classify Rainfall from DCS Components SCaMPR Rainfall IR Temperature Classification Q2 Rainfall RC AC AC What are the % of rainfall from rain core and anvils in SCaMPR and Q2?

  3. Rainfall Comparison True Value Rainfall in anvil: SCaMPR (29%) vs. Q2 (2%) Rainfall in rain core: SCaMPR (70%) vs. Q2 (97%) Overall: SCaMPR overestimated precipitation compared to Q2, in particular over Anvil region .

  4. How to Improve SCaMPR Precipitation? • Daytime optical depth shows significant difference between both types of anvil clouds and rain core • Optical depths in anvil region may be used to improve the SCaMPR precipitation retrieval (filter out non raining areas) Step 1: Improving SCaMPR method by distinguishing anvil clouds from rain cores using more available channels (MODIS proxy data), Radar, and Aircraft data during MC3E experiment over ARM SGP (15 convective+anvil cases during Apr-June 2011) Step 2: Extending the modified SCaMPR method to continental USA and comparing with NEXRAD Q2 precipitation product.
