Temperature, relative humidity, and divergence response to high rainfall events in the tropics: Observations and models
(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 ...

A one-dimensional cloud model with trimodal convective outflow
(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 ...
A low-level circulation in the tropics
(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 ...
Origin of lapse rate changes in the upper tropical troposphere
(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 ...
