A Relationship Between ITCZ Organization and Subtropical Humidity
; (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 ... -
Evolution of convective characteristics during tropical cyclogenesis
(Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2021-04-05)
Four idealized, high‐resolution (500 m horizontal grid spacing), numerical simulations are used to investigate the evolution of convective structures during tropical cyclogenesis. The simulations all begin with a weak ... -
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 ... -
Quantifying Convective Aggregation Using the Tropical Moist Margin's Length
; ; (Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020)
On small scales, the tropical atmosphere tends to be either moist or very dry. This defines two states that, on large scales, are separated by a sharp margin, well identified by the antimode of the bimodal tropical column ... -
Revisiting the Role of Convective Deep Water Formation in Northern Baltic Sea Bottom Water Renewal
; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020)
Deep water renewal and ventilation of the Baltic Sea is commonly considered to occur solely via saltwater inflows from the North Sea. However, recent analysis of geophysical and sediment proxy data suggests convective deep ... -
Sensitivity study of the planetary boundary layer and microphysical schemes to the initialization of convection over the Arabian Peninsula
; Branch, Oliver; (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2019)
In this study, we present a five-member Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) physics ensemble over the Arabian Peninsula on the convection-permitting (CP) scale and investigate the ability to simulate convection and ...
