The Diurnal Cycle of Convective Activity over South Asia as Diagnosed from METEOSAT-5 and TRMM Data

Cloud and precipitation data from satellites were used to characterize the climatological diurnal cycle of convective activity over South Asia. Spatial and temporal variability were investigated using three hourly blackbody brightness temperature (TBB) data from the METEOSAT-5 during March-April-May...
