In this paper, we review the use of satellite-based remote sensing in combination with in situ
data to inform Earth surface modelling. This involves verification and optimization methods …

Pools of air cooled by partial rain evaporation span up to several hundreds of kilometers in
nature and typically last less than 1 day, ultimately losing their identity to the large-scale …

When cumulonimbus clouds aggregate, developing into a single entity with precipitation
covering a horizontal scale of hundreds of kilometers, they are called mesoscale convective …

The debate on the sign of the soil moisture–precipitation feedback remains open. On the
one hand, studies using global coarse-resolution climate models have found strong positive …

The continental tropics play a leading role in the terrestrial energy, water, and carbon cycles.
Land–atmosphere interactions are integral in the regulation of these fluxes across multiple …

Cold‐pool‐driven convective initiation is investigated in high‐resolution, convection‐
permitting simulations with a focus on the diurnal cycle and organization of convection and …

Cold pools produced by convective storms play an important role in Earth's climate system.
However, a common framework does not exist for objectively identifying convective cold …

The initiation of second‐generation convective storms by the cold pools of first‐generation
storms is known to depend on cold pool characteristics such as depth and speed. It is not …

The intensity of deep convective storms is driven in part by the strength of their updrafts and
cold pools. In spite of the importance of these storm features, they can be poorly represented …

The atmosphere can self‐organize into long‐lasting large‐scale overturning circulations
over an ocean surface with uniform temperature. This phenomenon is referred to as …
