The Vertical Momentum Budget of Shallow Cumulus Convection: Insights From a Lagrangian Perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, a Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model is embedded into large eddy simulations to diagnose the responses of shallow cumulus convection to a small-amplitude large-scale temperature perturbation.

Evidence against a general positive eddy feedback in atmospheric blocking
Lei Wang,Zhiming Kuang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a two-layer QG model is adopted as a minimal model to conduct mechanism-denial experiments, and the authors demonstrate that the straining of generic eddies does not maintain blocks, thus challenge the idea of eddy straining serving as a positive feedback for the blocks.

Importance Profiles for Water Vapor
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors survey how scalar importance functions depend on vertically resolved water vapor and present new results on the sensitivity of convective activity to vapor (with implied knock-on effects such as weather prediction skill).
