• A New Look at the Daily Cycle of Trade Wind Cumuli 

      Vial, JessicaORCIDiD; Vogel, Raphaela; Bony, SandrineORCIDiD; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD; Winker, David M.ORCIDiD; Cai, XiaORCIDiD; Hohenegger, CathyORCIDiD; Naumann, Ann KristinORCIDiD; Brogniez, HélèneORCIDiD (Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019)
      A description of the daily cycle of oceanic shallow cumulus for undisturbed boreal winter conditions in the North Atlantic trades is presented. Modern investigation tools are used, including storm-resolving and large-eddy ...
    • A Relationship Between ITCZ Organization and Subtropical Humidity 

      Hohenegger, CathyORCIDiD; Jakob, ChristianORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
      Motivated by the results of idealized studies on the self-aggregation of convection, we investigate a potential relationship between the degree of organization of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and humidity based ...
    • Impact of Diurnal Warm Layers on Atmospheric Convection 

      Shevchenko, RadomyraORCIDiD; Hohenegger, CathyORCIDiD; Schmitt, Mira (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2023-07-14)
      Abstract

      This manuscript presents a study of oceanic diurnal warm layers (DWLs) in kilometer‐scale ...

    • Mesoscale marine tropical precipitation varies independently from the spatial arrangement of its convective cells 

      Brueck, Matthias; Hohenegger, CathyORCIDiD; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2020)
      The relationship between mesoscale convective organization, quantified by the spatial arrangement of convection, and oceanic precipitation in the tropical belt is examined using the output of a global storm-resolving ...
    • Tropical Continents Rainier Than Expected From Geometrical Constraints 

      Hohenegger, CathyORCIDiD; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD (AGU Advances, 2022-07-06)
      Abundant rainfall over tropical land masses sustains rich ecosystems, a crucial source of biodiversity and sink of carbon. Here, we use two characteristics of the observed tropical precipitation distribution, its distinctive ...
