Analysis of the thermodynamics and dynamics of tropical mesoscale convective systems
Mangini-Hall, Rebecca L. (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Satellite data combined with a reanalysis product is used to identify the thermodynamic and dynamic controls that govern mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). Composites are made of MCSs occurring within the tropics (30ºS ... -
Environmental controls of vertical motion over the maritime tropics
Bernardez, Miguel A. (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023)Understanding what controls vertical motion profile shape is fundamental to understanding tropical precipitation patterns. There is not a comprehensive understanding of what controls the top-heaviness of vertical motion ... -
A phase plane based perspective of energetics of large scale tropical convection
Maithel, Vijit (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2023)Rainfall and convection in the tropics has huge impacts on the lives and livelihood of almost 40 percent of the global population that resides there. However, we still lack a complete understanding of the full spectrum of ...
