Abstract: Chao and Lin?s work on tropical intraseasonal oscillations, super cloud clusters, and cumulus convection schemes is extended from a 2D model setup to a 3D aquaplanet setup. It is found that super cloud clusters can be ...

Abstract: This study deals with the origin of the phase lag between deep cumulus convection and low-level convergence in tropical synoptic-scale systems, known since 1974. Several possible causes, including 1) propagation of the ...
