EPIC Radar Studies

This page shows some analyses of EPIC ITCZ radar data and represents a collaboration between the CSU meteorology Group and Dennis Boccippio at NASA MSFC.

• Time series of fractional echo coverage (40 and 10 dBZ) and echo heights (10 and 30 dBZ)
• Time series of distribution of 15 and 30 dBZ tops (plot courtesy of Dennis Boccippio)
• Time series of rainfall accumulation (plot courtesy of Dennis Boccippio)
• Diurnal cycle of fractional echo coverage (40 and 10 dBZ) and echo heights (10 and 30 dBZ)
• Diurnal cycle of distribution of 30 dBZ tops (plot courtesy of Dennis Boccippio)
• Selected TRMM-PR overpasses during EPIC
