Abstract Across the Tropics (20° N–20° S), the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)
Precipitation Radar (PR) indicates that for reflectivities≥ 17 dB Z, stratiform precipitation …

This paper presents observations of deep convection characteristics in the tropics and
subtropics that have been classified into four categories: tropical cyclone, oceanic, land, and …

Satellite observations have revealed that some of the world's most intense deep convective
storms occur near the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina, South America. A C-band, dual …

Abstract The Global Climate Observing System has listed precipitation, whether liquid or
