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 …

Flower clouds are trade‐wind shallow cumuli, with tops reaching 3 km altitude, organised
into 100‐km wide clusters. They are widespread over the subtropics and associated with the …

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 …

Recent observations of the trade‐wind regions highlight the covariability between cold‐pool
properties and mesoscale cloud organization. Given the covariability of organization with …

The transition layer in the trades has long been observed and simulated, but the physical
processes producing its structure remain little investigated. Using extensive observations …

Abstract The EUREC4A (Elucidating the role of clouds–circulation coupling in climate) and
ATOMIC (Atlantic Tradewind Ocean‐Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign) joint …

We investigate whether and how spatial organization affects the pathway to precipitation in
large‐domain hectometer simulations of the North Atlantic trades. We decompose the …

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 …

Convective cold pools (CPs) mediate interactions between convective rain cells and help
organize thunderstorm clusters, in particular mesoscale convective systems and extreme …

Measuring vertical velocity in the atmosphere has long been a challenge due to its small
magnitude. Taking advantage of the modulation of free tropospheric relative humidity by …
