Spontaneous aggregation of convective storms
Idealized simulations of the tropical atmosphere have predicted that clouds can
spontaneously clump together in space, despite perfectly homogeneous settings. This …

Extreme precipitation in the tropics is closely associated with long-lived convective systems
Water and energy cycles are linked to global warming through the water vapor feedback and
heavy precipitation events are expected to intensify as the climate warms. For the mid …

Observed modulation of the tropical radiation budget by deep convective organization and lower‐tropospheric stability
This study analyzes the observed monthly deseasonalized and detrended variability of the
tropical radiation budget and suggests that variations of the lower‐tropospheric stability and …

Mesoscale convective clustering enhances tropical precipitation
P Angulo-Umana, D Kim - Science Advances, 2023 - science.org
In the tropics, extreme precipitation events are often caused by mesoscale systems of
organized, spatially clustered deep cumulonimbi, posing a substantial risk to life and …
