  • 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 ...

    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 ...
