A low-level circulation in the tropics
Folkins, Ian, S. Fueglistaler, G. Lesins, and T. Mitovski. 2008. "A low-level circulation in the tropics." Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences 65(3): 1019-1034.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. 2009. "A one-dimensional cloud model with trimodal convective outflow." Journal of Climate 22(23): 6437-6455.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. 2002. "Origin of lapse rate changes in the upper tropical troposphere." Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences 59(5): 992-1005.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 ... -

Temperature, relative humidity, and divergence response to high rainfall events in the tropics: Observations and models
Mitovski, Toni, Ian Folkins, Knut von Salzen, and Michael Sigmond. 2010. "Temperature, relative humidity, and divergence response to high rainfall events in the tropics: Observations and models." Journal of Climate 23(13): 3613-3625.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 ... -
