This paper is the first attempt to document a simple convection-tracking method based on the IMERG precipitation product to generate an IMERG-based Convection Tracking (IMERG-CT) dataset. Up to now, ...

The Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE) documented the dynamical and microphysical evolution of convection in southwestern England for testing and improving quantitative precipitation ...

Summertime aviation's greatest weather threat is not thunderstorms, but rather convection, encompassing both shallow and deep moist convection, with the latter posing significant danger. Rain showers, ...

The IAEA is calling on research organizations to join a new Coordinated Research Project (CRP) it is launching to improve the understanding of the impact of convective rain events on surface water and ...

Heavy precipitation can cause large economic, ecological, and human life losses. Both its frequency and intensity have increased due to climate change influences. Therefore, it is becoming ...

Scientists know that urbanization and irrigation can significantly influence rainfall. However, they don’t fully know how these effects vary among different types of rain. Researchers investigated how ...

Tiny airborne particles known as aerosols, from biomass burning, urban pollution, and industrial emissions, can dramatically alter rainfall, cloud formation, and atmospheric stability. A new study led ...

Climate change is often associated by the public with a reduction in precipitation, but in fact for most of the world’s regions scientists predict a change in rainfall pattern. This change in rainfall ...
