Testing the role of radiation in determining tropical cloud top temperature [PDF]
, 2012 Tropical anvil clouds that detrain near the mixing barrier near 13km in the tropics have a strong effect on the longwave and shortwave energy budgets of Earth.

Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Intra-day forecasts of global horizontal solar irradiance (GHI) are widely produced by displacing existing clouds on a geo-stationary satellite image to their future locations with cloud motion vectors (CMVs) derived from preceding images.

Factors controlling tropospheric O3, OH, NOx, and SO2 over the tropical Pacific during PEM-Tropics B [PDF]
, 2001 Observations over the tropical Pacific during the Pacific Exploratory Mission (PEM)-Tropics B experiment (March-April 1999) are analyzed. Concentrations of CO and long-lived nonmethane hydrocarbons in the region are significantly enhanced due to ...

Convectively Generated Gravity Waves in High Resolution Models of Tropical Dynamics
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018 We investigate numerical models that display the transition of global climate modeling from coarse grids, at which convection and gravity waves are still parameterized, toward finer resolutions, where both are treated explicitly.

Multiple Equilibria in a Single-Column Model of the Tropical Atmosphere
, 2007 A single-column model run under the weak temperature gradient approximation, a parameterization of large-scale dynamics appropriate for the tropical atmosphere, is shown to have multiple stable equilibria.

Response of the West African Monsoon to the Madden–Julian Oscillation [PDF]
, 2009 Observations show that rainfall over West Africa is influenced by the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). A number of mechanisms have been suggested: 1) forcing by equatorial waves; 2) enhanced monsoon moisture supply; and 3) increased African easterly wave

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Convection is highly active on tropical islands. Based on a 3‐year radar climatology over Hainan Island, a mountainous tropical island in South China, we identified a distinct spatial dependence of convection initiation (CI) on the speed of the large ...

Convective Precipitation Efficiency Observed in the Tropics
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 AbstractPrecipitation efficiency refers to the fraction of condensate in the atmosphere that reaches the surface as precipitation. A high‐quality data set of radar‐estimated precipitation rates and convective scale vertical velocity near Darwin, Australia, is used to construct the first estimate of precipitation efficiency at convective scales for a ...

Development of convection along the SPCZ within a Madden-Julian oscillation [PDF]
, 1996 A subtropical Rossby wave propagation mechanism is proposed to account for the poleward and eastward progression of intraseasonal convective anomalies along the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) that is observed in a significant proportion of Madden ...

ResU‐Deep: Improving the Trigger Function of Deep Convection in Tropical Regions With Deep Learning
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 Modeling deep convection accurately in tropical regions is important. However, biases remain in current trigger functions. To alleviate the overestimation of frequency and wrong depiction of the diurnal cycle, we propose a deep convection trigger ...
