OVERSHOOTING TOPS ? CHARACTERISTICS AND PROPERTIES
Original language description
Overshooting tops atop convective storms directly manifest the strength of updrafts which form them and provide us with essential information about the storm from the satellite perspective. These observations can be used to infer information about the storm intensity, possible severity or internal structure. This study focuses on multispectral and temporal characteristics of overshooting tops and their relationship with other storm-top features. The main properties such as structure, composition or appearance in brightness temperature field are summarized and several recent interesting cases are shown. Tops of deep convective clouds are observed from Suomi NPP (VIIRS) and Aqua (MODIS), CALIPSO (CALIOP, WFC) and CloudSat (CPR) satellites from the A-Train. This satellite constellation offers a unique opportunity to study details of storm tops from various instruments flown aboard satellites with very close orbits. The combination of A-train and MSG Rapid Scan observations (5 or 2.5 minut
