Objective Satellite-Based Detection of Overshooting Tops Using Infrared Window Channel Brightness Temperature Gradients (2010, background): “From Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar data (Kummerow and Barnes 1998), Liu and Zipser (2005) found an overshooting magnitude of 0.67 km for global deep convective clouds.”
Role of continental recycling in intraseasonal variations of continental moisture as deduced from model simulations and water vapor isotopic measurements (2013, background): “But it would not be conclusive either because convection over land and ocean has a different character [Zipser and LeMone, 1980; Nesbitt and Zipser, 2003; Liu and Zipser, 2005].”
Tropical stratospheric aerosol layer from CALIPSO lidar observations (2009, background): “The coincidence of these events with the beginning of the season and region of maximum overshooting volume reported by the TRMM precipitation radar [Liu and Zipser, 2005] would suggest that convective overshooting might also contribute at least up to 19 km. Note that CO [Schoeberl et al., 2006] and…”
Water-stable isotopes in the LMDZ4 general circulation model: Model evaluation for present-day and past climates and applications to climatic interpretations of tropical isotopic records (2010, background): “Instead, it might reveal a different simulated response of dp to convective activity, which is known to differ between continents and oceans [Nesbitt and Zipser, 2003; Liu and Zipser, 2005].”
Characteristics of Deep Tropical and Subtropical Convection from Nadir-Viewing High-Altitude Airborne Doppler Radar (2010, background): “Liu and Zipser (2005) suggested that the more intense the convection, the closer the radar echo top is to the infrared (IR) top derived from infrared radiation, indicating a larger potential for mass exchange in the tropical tropopause layer.”
WHERE ARE THE MOST INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS ON EARTH (2006, background): “With the launch of TRMM, IR, passive microwave, and lightning data could be combined with highresolution radar ref lectivity profiles (with 250-m vertical resolution at nadir), opening the door to more quantitative studies of storm structure from space (e.g., Nesbitt et al. 2000; Petersen and Rutled”
