Tropical cirrus clouds, ie, any type of ice cloud with tops above 400 hPa, play a critical role in
the climate system and are a major source of uncertainty in our understanding of global …

Heavy summer precipitation over the southern slope of the Tibetan Plateau has dramatic
influences on water resources and hydrological disasters in South Asia. It experienced …

Cirrus dominate the longwave radiative budget of the tropics. For the first time, the variability
in cirrus properties and longwave cloud radiative effects (CREs) that arises from using …

We present 123 cloud-resolving simulations to study how temperatures of anvil clouds and
radiative tropopause (RT) change with surface warming. Our simulation results show that the …

The exceptionally low temperature in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) restricts the amount
of water vapor entering the stratosphere. However, moisture may also enter the stratosphere …

The dryness of the stratosphere is the result of air entering through the cold tropical
tropopause layer (TTL). However, our understanding of the moisture flux partitioning into …

Moisture enters the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) and lower stratosphere via different
pathways; be it as large-scale slowly ascending water vapor or by way of smallscale …

In this study, we explore the relationship between anvil cloud fraction and horizontal model
resolution in small domain radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) simulations, building on …
