  • 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 ...
