A climatological perspective of deep convection penetrating the TTL during the Indian summer monsoon from the AVHRR and MODIS instruments [PDF]
The impact of very deep convection on the water budget and thermal structure of the tropical tropopause layer is still not well quantified, not least because of limitations imposed by the available observation techniques.

Horizontal Stratification during Deep Convection in the Labrador Sea [PDF]
Deep convection—the process by which surface waters are mixed down to 1000 m or deeper—forms the primary downwelling of the meridional overturning circulation in the Northern Hemisphere.

Impact of deep convection in the tropical tropopause layer in West Africa: in-situ observations and mesoscale modelling [PDF]
We present the analysis of the impact of convection on the composition of the tropical tropopause layer region (TTL) in West-Africa during the AMMA-SCOUT campaign. Geophysica M55 aircraft observations of water vapor, ozone, aerosol and CO2 show perturbed

Representation of tropical deep convection in atmospheric models - Part 1 : Meteorology and comparison with satellite observations [PDF]
Fast convective transport in the tropics can efficiently redistribute water vapour and pollutants up to the upper troposphere. In this study we compare tropical convection characteristics for the year 2005 in a range of atmospheric models, including ...

Deep learning in turbulent convection networks [PDF]
Significance Turbulent convection in horizontally extended systems comprises vortices and plumes on many time and length scales. These structures interact nonlinearly to self-organize into slowly evolving turbulent superstructures, which are horizontally more extended than in height.

Tropical Cirrus in Global Storm‐Resolving Models: 1. Role of Deep Convection
Pervasive cirrus clouds in the upper troposphere and tropical tropopause layer (TTL) influence the climate by altering the top‐of‐atmosphere radiation balance and stratospheric water vapor budget.

Global climate impacts of stochastic deep convection parameterization in the NCAR CAM5
In this study, the stochastic deep convection parameterization of Plant and Craig (PC) is implemented in the Community Atmospheric Model version 5 (CAM5) to incorporate the stochastic processes of convection into the Zhang‐McFarlane (ZM) deterministic ...
