A Multi-satellite Perspective on “Hot Tower” Characteristics in the Equatorial Trough Zone

In 1979, Herbert Riehl and Joanne Simpson (Malkus) analytically estimated that 1600–2400 undilute convective cores vertically transport energy to the tropopause at any given time within a region where upper-tropospheric energy is only exported from the tropics. The focus of this paper is to update t...
