Clouds in the tropics can organize the circulation on planetary scales and profoundly impact
long range seasonal forecasting and climate on the entire globe, yet contemporary …

The Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of variability in the tropical
atmosphere on intraseasonal timescales and planetary spatial scales. Despite the primary …

A stochastic model for representing the missing variability in global climate models due to
unresolved features of organized tropical convection is presented here. We use a Markov …

Tropical intraseasonal variability (TISV) of the atmosphere describes the coherent variability
in basic state variables, including pressure, wind, temperature, and humidity, as well as in …

This paper presents a conceptual picture of balanced tropical tropospheric dynamics
inspired by recent observations. The most important factor differentiating the tropics from …

Abstract We implement a Stochastic Multicloud Model (SMCM) in an observation‐informed
configuration into the convection scheme of the state‐of‐the‐art GCM ECHAM6. 3. The …

This study investigates precipitation amounts and apparent heat sources, which are coupled
with equatorial Kelvin waves and equatorial Rossby waves, using TRMM PR level 2 data …
