Journal ArticleDOI
An Observational Study of Entrainment Rate in Deep Convection
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between entrainment rate and cloud microphysics, and the effects of dry air sources on the calculated entropy rate in deep convection from an observational perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosing MJO hindcast biases in NCAR CAM3 using nudging during the DYNAMO field campaign
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) hindcast skill and investigated the hindcast biases in the dynamic and thermodynamic fields of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmosphere Model version 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relating Satellite-Observed Cloud Properties from MODIS to Meteorological Conditions for Marine Boundary Layer Clouds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined 6 yr of cloud properties observed by the MODIS on board the NASA Terra satellite in five prominent marine boundary layer (MBL) cloud regions (California, Peru, Canary, Angola, and Australia) and investigated their relationships with near surface meteorological parameters obtained from NCEP reanalyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convective Stabilization in Midlatitudes
TL;DR: In this paper, upper air sounding data from PRE-STORM were used to investigate the convective stabilization effect on the large-scale atmosphere, and the data were divided into four categories: environment, presystem, insystem, and post system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mingcheng Wang,Guang J. Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the simulation of tropical convective cloud-top heights (CCTH) above 6 km simulated by the convection scheme in the Community Atmosphere Model, version 5 (CAM5), is evaluated.
