Recent progress is reviewed in the understanding of convective interaction with water vapor
and changes associated with water vapor in warmer climates. Progress includes new …

Convective parameterization is the long-lasting bottleneck of global climate modelling and
one of the most difficult problems in atmospheric sciences. Uncertainty in convective …

The relationship between convective penetration depth and tropospheric humidity is central
to recent theories of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO). It has been suggested that …

The relationships between the onset of tropical deep convection, column water vapor
(CWV), and other measures of conditional instability are analyzed with 2 yr of data from the …

An 8‐year climatology of raintype observations from the Global Precipitation Measurement
dual‐frequency precipitation radar highlights two stratiform rain producing storm regimes …

The intensity of moist convection is an important diagnostic of climate change not currently
predicted by most climate models. We show that a simple estimate of the vertical velocity of …
