Implications of Warm Rain in Shallow Cumulus and Congestus Clouds for Large-Scale Circulations
Space-borne observations reveal that 20–40% of marine convective clouds below the freezing level produce rain. In this paper we speculate what the prevalence of warm rain might imply for convection and large-scale circulations over tropical oceans. We present results using a two-column radiative–con...
