Lightning and climate: A review (2005, background): “…is also strongly maritime during the westerly wind regime of the wet season there, as documented by numerous results in the NASA TRMM LBA program in 1999 (Cifeli et al, 2002, Petersen et al, 2002, Halverson et al, 2002, Williams et al, 2002), and has been dubbed the ‘green ocean’ for that reason.”
Retrieval of Latent Heating from TRMM Measurements (2006, unknown): “during January–February 1999 (Halverson et al. 2002; Petersen et al. 2002); KWAJEX took place in the vicinity of Kwajalein”
Radar observations of the kinematic, microphysical, and precipitation characteristics of two MCSs in TRMM LBA (2002, methodology): “mixed phase region of the easterly MCS is consistent with the higher lightning flash rates in this system compared to the westerly MCS [Halverson et al., 2001; Williams et al., 2002].”
Microphysics of Raindrop Size Spectra: Tropical Continental and Maritime Storms (2007, background): “The reader is referred to Hu and Srivastava (1995), Atlas and Ulbrich (2000), AU1, and AW for further discussion of the mechanisms responsible for the growth of the large drops and near-equilibrium DSDs and for other references.”
