Mesoscale Convective Systems Modulated by Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves

Abstract Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) produce over 50% of tropical precipitation and account for the majority of extreme rainfall and flooding events. MCSs are considered the building blocks of larger‐scale convectively coupled equatorial waves (CCEWs). While CCEWs can provide favorable envir...
