Thermochromic Radiative Cooling Coatings with Robust Superhydrophobicity for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable, color‐adaptive radiative cooling coating is developed to enable dynamic spectral regulation via a reversible thermochromic transition at ~45 °C and a high solar reflectance of 91.7%. The coating achieves 4.44 °C outdoor sub‐ambient cooling while providing robust superhydrophobicity and environmental durability through its micro/nano ...

Control of Convection in High‐Resolution Simulations of Tropical Cyclogenesis

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019
Three idealized high‐resolution simulations of tropical storm formation from a weak vortex are analyzed. The three simulations include a case using warm rain microphysics, a similar case in which surface friction is omitted, and a case in which ice ...

Connecting spatial and temporal scales of tropical precipitation in observations and the MetUM-GA6 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2017
This study analyses tropical rainfall variability (on a range of temporal and spatial scales) in a set of parallel Met Office Unified Model (MetUM) simulations at a range of horizontal resolutions, which are compared with two satellite-derived rainfall ...

Dehydration in the tropical tropopause layer: Implications from the UARS Microwave Limb Sounder [PDF]

, 2004
Measurements of H2O from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) are used to investigate the structure of H2O in the near tropopause region and dehydration mechanisms in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL).

Ensemble of Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Simulations Near the Aggregated and Scattered Boundary

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
An ensemble of 10 radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) simulations near the sharp transition zone between scattered and aggregated states are examined in a square‐domain cloud‐resolving model.

Atmospheric teleconnection mechanisms of extratropical North Atlantic SST influence on Sahel rainfall [PDF]

, 2014
Extratropical North Atlantic cooling has been tied to droughts over the Sahel in both paleoclimate observations and modeling studies. This study, which uses an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) coupled to a slab ocean model that simulates this ...

Forcing Convection to Aggregate Using Diabatic Heating Perturbations

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021
Tropical deep convection can aggregate into large clusters, which can have impacts on the local humidity and precipitation. Sea surface temperature (SST) gradients have been shown to organize convection, yet there has been little work done to investigate

Coupled ocean–atmosphere interactions between the Madden–Julian oscillation and synoptic-scale variability over the warm pool [PDF]

, 2005
A principal component analysis of the combined fields of sea surface temperature (SST) and surface zonal and meridional wind reveals the dominant mode of intraseasonal (30-70-day) co-variability during northern winter in the tropical Eastern Hemisphere ...

Relationship Between Deep Convection, Water Vapor, Lightning, and Precipitation over Northern Coastal Brazil

Atmosphere
A key component necessary to improve the performance of climate and weather forecasting models is understanding the physical mechanisms controlling tropical deep convection. In this study, the thermodynamic variables linked to deep convection within this

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 ...
