Can Large‐Scale Clustering of Tropical Precipitation Be Used to Constrain Climate Sensitivity?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The spatial organization of deep convection in tropical regions is posited to play an important role in determining characteristics of the tropical climate such as the humidity distribution and cloudiness and may therefore be an important control on climate feedbacks. This study analyzes one aspect of convective organization, the clustering of

Transport to the Extratropical Stratosphere by Overshooting Storms in Idealized Simulations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Deep convection is a significant source of water to the extratropical stratosphere which can alter radiative properties and contribute to ozone loss. Previous studies find it responsible for 40% of mid‐latitude water vapor above 380K. However, the amount of hydration from individual storms and the mechanisms that initiate mixing is less ...

Atmospheric Adjustments to In Situ Cirrus Formation in Ice Supersaturated Regions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract High‐level ice clouds exert a net warming on the climate system because their greenhouse effect outweighs their albedo effect. Focusing on in‐situ cirrus, their formation involves the conversion of upper‐tropospheric water vapor into ice crystals.

Field Observations Validate LES‐Derived Scaling of Vertical‐Velocity Variance During the Afternoon Transition of the Convective Boundary Layer

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The convective velocity scale is commonly used to describe the vertical‐velocity variance in the convective boundary layer driven by surface heating, and is valid when the surface heat flux varies slowly compared to the eddy turnover time. This quasi‐equilibrium assumption typically holds from late morning to early afternoon, but breaks down ...

Quasi‐Stationary Atmospheric Rivers as the Primary Driver of Rossby Wave Activity in the Global Subtropics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Hovmöller plots of upper‐tropospheric local (Rossby) wave activity (LWA) show that the subtropics of the North Pacific/Atlantic basins are relatively wave‐free in the upstream and wavier in the downstream of quasi‐stationary atmospheric rivers (QSARs).
