A low-level circulation in the tropics
Folkins, Ian; Fueglistaler, S.; Lesins, G.; Mitovski, T. (American Meteorological Society, 2008)Deep convective tropical systems are strongly convergent in the midtroposphere. Horizontal wind measurements from a variety of rawinsonde arrays in the equatorial Pacific and Caribbean are used to calculate the mean dynamical ... -
A one-dimensional cloud model with trimodal convective outflow
Folkins, Ian (American Meteorological Society, 2009)The author describes a one-dimensional cloud model designed to investigate the relationships between stratiform downdrafts, congestus outflow, stability, and relative humidity in the tropical lower troposphere. In the ... -
Origin of lapse rate changes in the upper tropical troposphere
Folkins, Ian (American Meteorological Society, 2002)Vertical motions in clouds arise from a variety of thermodynamic processes, including latent heat release, evaporative cooling, melting, and cloud radiative heating. In the Tropics, the net upward vertical mass flux from ... -
Seasonal cycles of O-3, CO, and convective outflow at the tropical tropopause
Folkins, Ian; Bernath, P.; Boone, C.; Lesins, G.; Livesey, N.; Thompson, A. M.; Walker, K.; Witte, J. C. (2006-08)No abstract available. -
Space-based constraints on the production of nitric oxide by lightning
Martin, Randall V.; Sauvage, Bastien; Folkins, Ian; Sioris, Christopher E.; Boone, Christopher; Bernath, Peter; Ziemke, Jerry (2007-05)No abstract available. -
Space-based constraints on the production of nitric oxide by lightning
Martin, Randall V.; Sauvage, Bastien; Folkins, Ian; Sioris, Christopher E.; Boone, Christopher; Bernath, Peter; Ziemke, Jerry (2007-05)No abstract available. -
Temperature, relative humidity, and divergence response to high rainfall events in the tropics: Observations and models
Mitovski, Toni; Folkins, Ian; von Salzen, Knut; Sigmond, Michael (American Meteorological Society, 2010)Radiosonde measurements and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 rainfall are used to construct composite anomaly patterns of temperature, relative humidity, and divergence about high rainfall events in the ... -
Testing convective parameterizations with tropical measurements of HNO3, CO, H2O, and O-3: Implications for the water vapor budget
Folkins, Ian; Bernath, P.; Boone, C.; Donner, L. J.; Eldering, A.; Lesins, Glen; Martin, R. V.; Sinnhuber, B. -M; Walker, K. (2006-12)No abstract available. -

Testing convective transport on short time scales: Comparisons with mass divergence and ozone anomaly patterns about high rain events
Mitovski, Toni; Folkins, Ian; Martin, Randall V.; Cooper, Matthew (2012-01)No abstract available. -
Testing convective transport on short time scales: Comparisons with mass divergence and ozone anomaly patterns about high rain events

The vertical structure of tropical convection and its impact on the budgets of water vapor and ozone
Folkins, Ian; Martin, Randall V. (American Meteorological Society, 2005)Convective clouds in the Tropics that penetrate the boundary layer inversion preferentially detrain into a shallow outflow layer (2-5 km) or a deep outflow layer (10-17 km). The properties of these layers are diagnosed ...
