A New Look at the Daily Cycle of Trade Wind Cumuli
; Vogel, Raphaela; ; ; ; ; ; ; (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 ... -
Changes in the Tropical Lapse Rate due to Entrainment and Their Impact on Climate Sensitivity
; ; ; (Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-09-16)
The tropical temperature in the free troposphere deviates from a theoretical moist‐adiabat. The overall deviations are attributed to the entrainment of dry surrounding air. The deviations gradually approach zero in the ... -
Characterization and Evolution of Organized Shallow Convection in the Downstream North Atlantic Trades
; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021-08-26)
Four previously identified patterns of meso‐scale cloud organization in the trades — called Sugar, Gravel, Flowers, and Fish — are studied using long‐term records of ground‐based measurements, satellite observations and ... -
Earth’s Albedo and Its Symmetry
; (AGU Advances, 2021-08-11)
The properties of Earth's albedo and its symmetries are analyzed using twenty years of space‐based Energy Balanced And Filled product of Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System measurements. Despite surface asymmetries, ... -
Linking Large‐Eddy Simulations to Local Cloud Observations
; ; ; ; Moseley, Christopher; (Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020-12-05)
In order to enhance our understanding of clouds and their microphysical processes, it is crucial to exploit both observations and models. Local observations from ground‐based remote sensing sites provide detailed information ... -
Mesoscale marine tropical precipitation varies independently from the spatial arrangement of its convective cells
Brueck, Matthias;; (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
; (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 ...
