TL;DR: Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign as mentioned in this paper emphasized measurements of processes related to the formation of rain in shallow cumuli, and how rain subsequently modifies the structure and ensemble statistics of trade wind clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mesoscale convection life cycle: Building block or prototype for large-scale tropical waves?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated why a similar progression of events (life cycle) is observed for tropical weather fluctuations with time scales of hours, days, and even weeks using point data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiative-Dynamical Consequences of Dry Tongues in the Tropical Troposphere
Brain E. Mapes,Paquita Zuidema +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the TOGA COARE field program was examined for humidity drops (layers in which relative humidity decreases rapidly with height), indicative of the bases of dry layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of MODIS cloud effective radius and optical thickness retrievals over the Southeast Pacific with VOCALS‐REx in situ measurements
TL;DR: In this article, the in situ aircraft-derived cloud property values were constructed from the drop size distributions measured by the Cloud Droplet Probe (drop diameter <52 micron) and Two-Dimensional Cloud Probe (two-dimensional cloud probe) during 20 vertical profiles during the Chile-Peru stratocumulus cloud deck during October-November 2008 were used to assess MODIS Level 2 cloud property retrievals.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Issues with current standard satellite retrievals are summarized, new ideas to use additional information from existing and upcoming spaceborne instruments are discussed, and approaches using high‐quality ground‐based observations are examined.
