Symmetry in mesoscale circulations explains weak impact of trade cumulus self‐organization on the radiation budget in large‐eddy simulations

M Janssens, F Jansson, P Alinaghi… - Geophysical …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate if mesoscale self‐organisation of trade cumuli in 150 km‐domain large‐eddy
simulations modifies the top‐of‐atmosphere radiation budget relative to 10 km‐domain …

External drivers and mesoscale self‐organization of shallow cold pools in the trade‐wind regime

P Alinaghi, AP Siebesma, F Jansson… - Journal of Advances …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
Recent observations of the trade‐wind regions highlight the covariability between cold‐pool
properties and mesoscale cloud organization. Given the covariability of organization with …

Thin clouds control the cloud radiative effect along the Sc‐Cu transition

G Choudhury, T Goren - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
In situ and spaceborne studies reveal the prevalence of thin clouds in the major
Stratocumulus‐to‐Cumulus Transition (SCT) regions. Using instantaneous satellite and …

Cold pools mediate mesoscale adjustments of trade-cumulus fields to changes in cloud-droplet number concentration

P Alinaghi, F Jansson, DA Blázquez… - …, 2024 - egusphere.copernicus.org
The mesoscale self-organization of trade-cumulus cloud fields is a major cloud-climate
uncertainty. Cold pools, ie pockets of cold, dense air resulting from rain evaporation, are a …
