Geographic and seasonal distributions of CO transport pathways and their roles in determining CO centers in the upper troposphere [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 Past studies have identified a variety of pathways by which carbon monoxide (CO) may be transported from the surface to the tropical upper troposphere (UT); however, the relative roles that these transport pathways play in determining the distribution ...

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 ...

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 ...

Recent Studies on Changes in Track and Convection Associated with Tropical Cyclone Landfall
Tropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2012 : As a tropical cyclone makes landfall, changes in friction and moisture as well as the presence of topography will modify the flow and subsequently the convection associated with the tropical cyclone. As a result, the distribution of potential vorticity

Downdraft impacts on tropical convection
, 2013 Downdrafts are an integral part of the convective cycle, and have been observed and documented for more than a hundred years. But many questions still surround convective downdrafts and their most difficult to observe properties. These questions have made the parameterization of convective downdrafts in global climate models (GCMs) very difficult ...

The Nontraditional Coriolis Terms and Tropical Convective Clouds
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2020 AbstractThe full, three-dimensional Coriolis force includes the familiar sine-of-latitude terms as well as frequently dropped cosine-of-latitude terms [nontraditional Coriolis terms (NCT)]. The latter are often ignored because they couple the zonal and vertical momentum equations that in the large-scale limit of weak vertical velocity are considered ...

How important is tropospheric humidity for coastal rainfall in the tropics?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Climate models show considerable rainfall biases in coastal tropical areas, where approximately 33% of the overall rainfall received is associated with coastal land‐sea interaction.

AGU Advances, 2020 This study analyzes the observed monthly deseasonalized and detrended variability of the tropical radiation budget and suggests that variations of the lower‐tropospheric stability and of the spatial organization of deep convection both strongly ...

Relating tropical ocean clouds to moist processes using water vapor isotope measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 We examine the co-variations of tropospheric water vapor, its isotopic composition and cloud types and relate these distributions to tropospheric mixing and distillation models using satellite observations from the Aura Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...
