[HTML][HTML] Nonprecipitating shallow cumulus convection is intrinsically unstable to length scale growth

M Janssens, JVG De Arellano… - Journal of the …, 2023 - journals.ametsoc.org
Condensation in cumulus clouds plays a key role in structuring the mean, nonprecipitating
trade wind boundary layer. Here, we summarize how this role also explains the …

Positive low cloud feedback primarily caused by increasing longwave radiation from the sea surface in two versions of a climate model

T Ogura, MJ Webb, AP Lock - Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Low cloud feedback in global warming projections by climate models is characterized by its
positive sign, the mechanism of which is not well understood. Here we propose that the …

The relationship between precipitation and its spatial pattern in the trades observed during EUREC4A

J Radtke, AK Naumann, M Hagen… - Quarterly Journal of the …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Trade wind convection organises into a rich spectrum of spatial patterns, often in conjunction
with precipitation development. Which role spatial organisation plays for precipitation and …

On climate change and trade cumulus organization

J Kazil, P Narenpitak, T Yamaguchi… - Journal of Advances in …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate the role of mesoscale organization for the response of trade cumulus (Tc)
clouds to climate change. Among four recently identified states of Tc organization, the …
