Southern Africa, with its vast arid to semiarid areas, is considered vulnerable to precipitation
changes and amplifying weather extremes. However, during the last 100 ka, huge lakes …

In early 2020, an international team set out to investigate trade wind cumulus and their
coupling to the large-scale circulation through the field campaign EUREC 4 A: ElUcidating …

Abstract The Middle Miocene (15.99–11.65 Ma) of Europe witnessed major climatic,
environmental, and vegetational change, yet we are lacking detailed reconstructions of …

We present a global and multi-annual space-borne dataset of tropospheric {H 2 O, δ D} pairs
that is based on radiance measurements from the nadir thermal infrared sensor IASI …

Due to its dryness, the subtropical free troposphere plays a critical role in the radiative
balance of the Earth's climate system. But the complex interactions of the dynamical and …

Tropical ice clouds have an important influence on the Earth's radiative balance. They often
form as a result of tropical deep convection, which strongly affects the water budget of the …

Mid‐tropospheric elevated moist layers (EMLs) near the melting level have been found in
various regional observational studies in the tropics. Recently, a preponderance of EMLs in …

Long‐term atmospheric water vapour hydrogen (δ 2H), oxygen (δ 18O) and deuterium
excess (d‐excess) can provide unique insights into the land‐atmosphere coupling …

The products from the Stable Water Isotope Intercomparison Group, Phase 2, are currently
used for numerous studies, allowing water isotope model‐data comparisons with various …

Water isotopes are tracers of convective processes and are often used as proxies for past
precipitation. These applications require a better understanding of the impact of convective …
