Seasonal variation of diurnal rainfall characteristics over Vietnam.

This study explores the characteristics and mechanisms of diurnal rainfall in Vietnam (VN), focusing on two key aspects: (1) the ability of Integrated Multi-satelliteE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) to capture regional and seasonal sub-daily rainfall patterns; (2) the influence of multi-scale atmospheric processes in shaping these patterns. Data from 171 rain gauge stations served as a reference for the evaluation. Results indicate that while IMERG underestimates the magnitude of diurnal rainfall variation, it successfully identifies regional and seasonal differences in diurnal rainfall timing.

Estimation of anthropogenic heat emissions in urban Taiwan and their spatial patterns.

High energy consumption in the urban environment impacts the urban surface energy budget and causes the emission of anthropogenic heat fluxes (AHFs) into the atmosphere. AHFs vary over time and space. Thus, a reliable estimation of AHF is needed for mesoscale meteorological modeling.
