Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of a Cumulus Cloud Ensemble with the Large-Scale Environment, Part I
Akio Arakawa,Wayne H. Schubert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, large-scale modification of the environment by cumulus clouds is discussed in terms of entrainment, detraining, evaporation, and subsidence, and budget equations for mass, static energy, water vapor, and liquid water are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trimodal Characteristics of Tropical Convection
Richard H. Johnson,Thomas M. Rickenbach,Steven A. Rutledge,Paul E. Ciesielski,Wayne H. Schubert +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that shallow cumulus, congestus, and cumulonimbus are all prominent tropical cumulus cloud types and are associated with trimodal distributions of divergence, cloud detrainment, and fractional cloudiness in the Tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polygonal Eyewalls, Asymmetric Eye Contraction, and Potential Vorticity Mixing in Hurricanes
Wayne H. Schubert,Michael T. Montgomery,Richard K. Taft,Thomas A. Guinn,Scott R. Fulton,James P. Kossin,James P. Edwards +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the asymmetric vorticity dynamics of the hurricane's eye and eyewall region under the framework of an unforced barotropic non-gradient model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inertial Stability and Tropical Cyclone Development
Wayne H. Schubert,James J. Hack +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the frictionless, axisymmetric, balanced flow occurring in a thermally forced vortex on an f-plane and derive the diagnostic equation for the forced secondary circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hurricane Spiral Bands
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the outer bands of tropical cyclones form as the result of nonlinear effects during the breakdown of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) through barotropic instability.
