September 29, Outline  SCaMPR Overview (Bob)  SCaMPR and Lightning: Previous Work (Bob)  SCaMPR and Lightning: Ongoing and proposed Work (Walt)  Questions / Discussion (all)

September 29, SCaMPR Overview  Self-Calibrating Multivariate Precipitation Retrieval  Calibrates IR predictors to MW rain rates  Updates calibration whenever new target data (MW rain rates) become available  Selects both best predictors and calibration coefficients; thus, predictors used can change in time or space  Flexible; can use any inputs or target data

September 29, SCaMPR Overview (cont.)  Two calibration steps: »Rain / no-rain discrimination using discriminant analysis »Rain rate using stepwise multiple linear regression  Classification scheme based on BTD’s (ABI only): »Type 1 (water cloud): T 7.34 <T 11.2 and T 8.5 -T 11.2 <-0.3 »Type 2 (ice cloud): T »Type 3 (cold-top convective cloud): T 7.34 >T 11.2

September 29, Predictors from ABI / GLM Target rain rates Aggregate to spatial resolution of target data Match raining target pixels with corresponding predictors in space and time Match non-raining raining target pixels with corresponding predictors in space and time Calibrate rain detection algorithm using discriminant analysis Calibrate rain intensity algorithm using regression Create nonlinear transforms of predictor values Apply calibration coefficients to independent data Subsequent ABI / GLM data Matched non- raining predictors and targets Matched raining predictors and targets START END Assemble training data set Calibrate rain rate retrieval Output

September 29, SCaMPR and Lightning: Previous Work  Back in 2005, performed some experiments using National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) data as predictors to SCaMPR  Basic predictor was number of lightning flashes in a GOES pixel in previous 15 min  Two uses of the predictor: »Classification: separate convective (lightning present) and stratiform (no lightning) calibrations »Lightning flash rate as a predictor for the convective class  Positive impact; hoping to incorporate into the real- time version of SCaMPR by year’s end

Convective and Stratiform (C/S) Precipitation Recognized in the precipitation community as a fundamental characteristic of convective system rainfall process since the 70’s-80s Implemented in most state of the art ground-based radar estimation algorithms (historically problematic for satellite algorithms Vis/IR and MW alike (both fundamental to SCaMPR) For satellite QPE- this application of lightning information is “low-hanging fruit”: Lightning occurs predominantly in precipitating convection and when lightning does occur, it identifies/pin points convective areas of precipitation. When combined with other observations- can enhance the classic “presence or absence” problem and facilitate better C/S partitioning (e.g., Grecu and Anagnostou; convective/stratiform fractions and revised rain volume calculation). Relative to applications in C/S partitioning we can ask (and suspect): Fundamentally, between raining convective systems of similar area coverage does the presence/absence/amount of lightning identify a systematic difference (e.g., constraint) in system-wide C/S precipitation behavior?

September 29, Turn to TRMM and Testbeds: Feature C/S behavior as f(lightning) Establishing broad constraints in behavior For each TRMM Orbit and precipitation feature: 1.2A25/2A12 Convective/Stratiform rain fractions (within 1Z99) 2.C/S partitioned Avg./Max rain rate, volume rate, IWP, LWP, Scattering Index 3.Lightning flash count Evaluate over TN Valley (first) 1.C/S feature fractions as f(flash, no flash) 2.C/S feature area fain volume rates f(flash, no flash) 3.C/S Rain volume ratios f(flash, no flash) 4.Feature C/S Avg. rain rates f(flash, no flash) 5.C/S IWP/LWP f(flash, no flash) PR LIS

7-Year TN Valley Feature Sample number and C/S Fraction September 29, ,788 Total Features (20 dBZ / 250 K 85 GHz) Feature area > 500 km 2 82 % Had convection 33 % Had lightning All features (including area <500 km 2 ) 33% were “convective” (artifacts present) Only 5% Had lightning With lightning present there is a clear increase in convective fraction regardless of feature area This is most pronounced for smallest features (PR/TMI partitioning artifact?)

Average Feature Rain Rate (C/S) September 29, Average convective RR ~ 10%-larger for features with lightning regardless of feature area. No difference for stratiform. Asymptotic 2 mm/hr stratiform rain rate is similar to Adler and Negri (1988) value. Convective Stratiform

C/S Rain Volume September 29, Total Convective rain volume for features w/lightning is markedly larger regardless of area Volume rain rate behavior (e.g., slope of line) different for convective feature areas with and without lightning About the same for stratiform

Future/Ongoing Work September 29, Bias = -10% (-0.99 mm) Error = 12% Calibrated/QC’d dual-pol rain map C/S partitioning with LMA for TN Valley (Proxy dataset?)
