The science guiding the EUREC 4 A campaign and its measurements is presented. EUREC
4 A comprised roughly 5 weeks of measurements in the downstream winter trades of the …

Shallow cumulus clouds in the trade-wind regions cool the planet by reflecting solar
radiation. The response of trade cumulus clouds to climate change is a key uncertainty in …

Trade‐wind clouds exhibit a large diversity of spatial organizations at the mesoscale. Over
the tropical western Atlantic, a recent study has visually identified four prominent mesoscale …

A description of the daily cycle of oceanic shallow cumulus for undisturbed boreal winter
conditions in the North Atlantic trades is presented. Modern investigation tools are used …

The trade wind subcloud layer is an important structural component of the atmosphere. Its
thermodynamic variability has long been characterized using simple frameworks, of which …

Abstract The Atlantic Tradewind Ocean‐Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign
(ATOMIC) took place in January–February, 2020. It was designed to understand the …

Understanding the drivers of cloud organization is crucial for accurately estimating cloud
feedbacks and their contribution to climate warming. Shallow mesoscale circulations are …

The response of trade cumulus clouds to warming remains a major source of uncertainty for
climate sensitivity. Recent studies have highlighted the role of the cloud–convection …

Advances in high‐performance computing have enabled large‐eddy simulations (LES) of
turbulence, convection, and clouds. However, their potential to improve parameterizations in …

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 …
