Relating Vertical Velocity and Cloud/Precipitation Properties: A Numerical Cloud Ensemble Modeling Study of Tropical Convection Open
Fundamental relationships exist between cloud and precipitation development and their dynamic processes. Latent heat released by cloud/precipitation formation affects cloud vertical motions, which in turn affect convective cloud developmen…

Characterizing 15 Years of Saharan-like, Dry, Well-Mixed Air Layers in North Africa Open
The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) is a dry, well-mixed layer (WML) of warm and sometimes dusty air of nearly constant water vapor mixing ratio generated by the intense surface heating and strong, dry convection in the Sahara Desert, which has no…

A Spatial‐Temporal Extreme Precipitation Database from GPM IMERG Open
Extreme precipitation events (EPEs) have the potential to create catastrophic flooding, landslides, and infrastructure damage. We diagnose the spatial and temporal characteristics of EPEs by using the Integrated Multi‐SatellitE Retrievals …

An Automated Detection Methodology for Dry Well-Mixed Layers Open
The intense surface heating over arid land surfaces produces dry well-mixed layers (WML) via dry convection. These layers are characterized by nearly constant potential temperature and low, nearly constant water vapor mixing ratio. To furt…

Validation of IMERG Precipitation in Africa Open
Understanding of hydroclimatic processes in Africa has been hindered by the lack of in situ precipitation measurements. Satellite-based observations, in particular, the TRMM Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) have been pivotal to…
