  • 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 ...
