Estimates of GATE convective and stratiform rainfall derived from radar and satellite dataThe statistics of tropical rain system structure are studied, focusing on the division between convective and stratiform rainfall over the GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment B-scale array. The satellite IR convective/stratiform technique of Adler and Negri (1988) is used to produce hourly estimates for two day of the GATE. The estimates are verified against the radar data. The results are compared with the results of Houze and Rappaport (1984) and Cheng and Houze (1979). The possible application of the results for estimating the vertical profile of latent heating is discussed.
