    • 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 ...
    • Changes in the Tropical Lapse Rate due to Entrainment and Their Impact on Climate Sensitivity 

      Bao, JiaweiORCIDiD; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD; Kluft, LukasORCIDiD; Jiménez‐de‐la‐Cuesta, DiegoORCIDiD (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 

      Schulz, HaukeORCIDiD; Eastman, RyanORCIDiD; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD (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 

      Datseris, GeorgeORCIDiD; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD (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 

      Schemann, VeraORCIDiD; Ebell, KerstinORCIDiD; Pospichal, BernhardORCIDiD; Neggers, RoelORCIDiD; Moseley, Christopher; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD (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; 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 ...
    • Minimal Recipes for Global Cloudiness 

      Datseris, GeorgeORCIDiD; Blanco, Joaquin; Hadas, OrORCIDiD; Bony, Sadrine; Caballero, RodrigoORCIDiD; Kaspi, YohaiORCIDiD; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2022-10-26)
      Clouds are primary modulators of Earth's energy balance. It is thus important to understand the links connecting variabilities in cloudiness to variabilities in other state variables of the climate system, and also describe ...
    • The inner life of the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone 

      Windmiller, Julia M.ORCIDiD; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2023-12-12)
      Abstract

      The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a central component of the atmospheric ...

    • 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 ...
    • Upper Bounds of Maximum Land Surface Temperatures in a Warming Climate and Limits to Plant Growth 

      Aminzadeh, MiladORCIDiD; Or, DaniORCIDiD; Stevens, BjornORCIDiD; AghaKouchak, AmirORCIDiD; Shokri, NimaORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2023-09-08)
      Abstract

      Extremely high land surface temperatures affect soil ecological processes, alter ...
