Feedbacks between sea-floor spreading, trade winds and precipitation in the Southern Red Sea by Kurt Stüwe, Jörg Robl, Syed Ali Turab, Pietro Sternai, Finlay M. Stuart

“…Here, the authors show that geomorphological features of the southern Red Sea margin are best interpreted by a feedback cycle between orographic precipitation, mid-ocean spreading and coastal magmatism, and that the feedback is enhanced by the trade wind.…”

Microphysical, macrophysical and radiative signatures of volcanic aerosols in trade wind cumulus observed by the A-Train by T. Yuan, L. A. Remer, H. Yu

“…Furthermore, the precipitation reduction associated with enhanced aerosol leads to large changes in the energetics of air-sea exchange and trade wind boundary layer. Our results represent the first observational evidence of large-scale increase of cloud amount due to aerosols in a trade cumulus regime, which can be used to constrain the representation of aerosol-cloud interactions in climate models. …”

Evaluating Large‐Domain, Hecto‐Meter, Large‐Eddy Simulations of Trade‐Wind Clouds Using EUREC4A Data by Hauke Schulz, Bjorn Stevens

“…Abstract The meso‐scale variability in cloudiness of the marine trade‐wind layer is explored with large‐eddy simulations of regional extent and validated against observations of the EUREC4A field campaign. 41 days of realistically forced simulations present a representative, statistical view on shallow convection in the winter North Atlantic trades that includes a wide range of meso‐scale variability including the four recently identified patterns of spatial organization: Sugar, Gravel, Flowers and Fish. …”
