Tropical cyclones (TCs, also known as hurricanes and typhoons) generally form at low
latitudes with access to the warm waters of the tropical oceans, but far enough off the …

Numerical weather and climate models continue to struggle with simulating equatorial
waves and tropical rainfall variability. This study presents a potential remedy—high …

Tropical cyclone numbers can vary from week to week within a hurricane season. Recent
studies suggest that convectively coupled Kelvin waves can be partly responsible for such …

Tropical cyclogenesis (TCG) remains an elusive phenomenon partly due to the limited
understanding of complex water vapor‐convection‐wave interactions. The Model for …

Accurate simulations of convectively coupled equatorial waves (CCEWs) are key to properly
forecasting rainfall and weather patterns within (and outside) the tropics. Many studies have …

Tropical weather phenomena—including tropical cyclones (TCs) and equatorial waves—are
influenced by planetary‐to‐convective‐scale processes; yet, existing data sets and tools can …

This study investigates the effects of resolved deep convection on tropical rainfall and its
multi‐scale variability. A series of aquaplanet simulations are analyzed using the Model for …

Interactions between large-scale waves and the Hadley cell are examined using a linear two-
layer model on an f plane. A linear meridional moisture gradient determines the strength of …

Warm conveyor belts (WCBs) are dynamically important, strongly ascending and mostly
stratiform cloud-forming airstreams in extratropical cyclones. Despite the predominantly …

Earth may have been globally ice‐covered at least two times during the Cryogenian Period
(720–635 Ma). Previous studies showed that clouds could strongly warm a hard snowball …
