Convective self-aggregation, the spontaneous organization of initially scattered convection
into isolated convective clusters despite spatially homogeneous boundary conditions and …

In the tropics, deep convection, which is often organized into convective systems, plays a
crucial role in the water and energy cycles by significantly contributing to surface …

Kerala, located at the southwest tip of India, witnessed disastrous floods during the monsoon
seasons of two consecutive years, 2018 and 2019. This paper provides a detailed analysis …

Tropical deep convection exhibits complex organization over a wide range of scales. This
study investigates the relationships between the spatial organization of deep convection and …

Tropical deep convection with overshooting tops is identified by defining five different
reference heights using a 5‐year TRMM database. The common properties of these extreme …

This paper focuses on the tracking of mesoscale convective systems (MCS) from
geostationary satellite infrared data in the tropical regions. In the past, several automatic …

A global analysis of convective cloud in the tropical tropopause region (12–17 km) is
presented. The analysis is based on high‐resolution global imagery of cloud brightness …

The west coast of the Indian peninsula receives very heavy rainfall during the summer
Monsoon (June–September) season with average rainfall over some parts exceeding 250 …

In the tropical African and neighboring Atlantic region there is a strong contrast in the
properties of deep convection between land and ocean. Here, satellite radar observations …

Recent modeling studies have suggested a potentially important role of cloud-radiative
interactions in accelerating tropical cyclone (TC) development, but there has been only …
