Asymmetry of the Distribution of Vertical Velocities of the Extratropical Atmosphere in Theory, Models, and Reanalysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2024-03-01)The vertical velocity distribution in the atmosphere is asymmetric with stronger upward than downward motion. This asymmetry is important for the distribution of precipitation and its extremes and for an effective static ... -
Large-Scale Circulations and Dry Tropical Cyclones in Direct Numerical Simulations of Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 2023-09-01)The organization of convection into relatively long-lived patterns of large spatial scales, like tropical cyclones, is a common feature of Earth’s atmosphere. However, many key aspects of convective aggregation and its ... -
The Quasi-Linear Relation between Planetary Outgoing Longwave Radiation and Surface Temperature: A Climate Footprint of Radiative and Nonradiative Processes
(American Meteorological Society, 2023-09-01)The slope of the quasi-linear relation between planetary outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) and surface temperature (TS ) is an important parameter measuring the sensitivity of Earth’s climate system. The primary objective ...
