Abstract: The relationship between atmospheric stability, measured as CAPE, and deep precipitating convection has been widely studied but is not definitive. In the maritime tropics, CAPE and precipitation are usually inversely ...

Abstract: A coupled global atmosphere?ocean model of intermediate complexity is used to study the influence of glacial boundary conditions on the atmospheric circulation during the Last Glacial Maximum in a systematical manner. A ...

Abstract: A simple theory for convective circulations induced by surface heterogeneities is proposed. The theory is based on the thermodynamics of heat engines and provides a simple physical explanation for the general characteristics ...
