Correlating Extremes in Wind Divergence with Extremes in Rain over the Tropical Atlantic

Air–sea fluxes are greatly enhanced by the winds and vertical exchanges generated by mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). In contrast to global numerical weather prediction models, space-borne scatterometers are able to resolve the small-scale wind variability in and near MCSs at the ocean surface....
