Latent Heating from TRMM and GPM MeasurementThe Goddard Convective-Stratiform Heating (CSH) algorithm, used to estimate cloud heating in support of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), is upgraded in support of the Global Precipitation Measurement mission (GPM). The algorithm is required to use look-uptables (LUTs) from cloud-resolving model (CRM) simulations from the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble model (GCE). This paper will present the heating retrievals from the Goddard CSH algorithm in the TRMM and GPM using precipitation products (rainfall, radar reflectivity).
