• 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 ...
    • Quantifying Convective Aggregation Using the Tropical Moist Margin's Length 

      Beucler, TomORCIDiD; Leutwyler, DavidORCIDiD; Windmiller, Julia M.ORCIDiD (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 ...
