This paper describes the new open-source framework PyFLEXTRKR (Python FLE**ble
object TRacKeR), a flexible atmospheric feature tracking software package with specific …

Understanding interactions between low clouds and land surface fluxes is critical to
comprehending Earth's energy balance, yet their relationships remain elusive, with …

The intensity of deep convective storms is driven in part by the strength of their updrafts and
cold pools. In spite of the importance of these storm features, they can be poorly represented …

Understanding the global soil moisture (SM) dynamics and its governing controls beyond
the Darcy Scale is critical for various hydrological, meteorological, agricultural, and …

Applying 1D surface heterogeneity and observed atmospheric vertical profiles as initial
conditions, two sets of large-eddy simulation experiments provided insight into the influence …

We have analyzed near-global stratospheric data (and mesospheric data as well for H 2 O)
in terms of absolute abundances, variability, and trends for O 3, H 2 O, HCl, N 2 O, and HNO …

This study examines the role of soil moisture in modulating convective cold pool properties
in an idealized modeling framework that uses a cloud‐resolving model coupled to an …

Land‐atmosphere interactions and boundary layer processes often control the formation of
shallow clouds and subsequently deep convective precipitation over the US Southern Great …

Earth system models (ESMs) typically represent surface heterogeneity on scales smaller
than the atmospheric grid, while land–atmosphere coupling is based on grid mean values …

Some of the climate research puzzles relate to a limited understanding of the critical factors
governing the life cycle of cumulus clouds. These factors force the initiation and the various …
