A Multi-satellite Perspective on “Hot Tower” Characteristics in the Equatorial Trough Zone by Pilewskie, J, Stephens, G, Takahashi, H, L’Ecuyer, T

“…Cloud vertical profiles from CloudSat and CALIPSO measurements supply convective core diameters and proxies for intensity and convective activity, and these proxies are augmented with brightness temperature data from geostationary satellite observations, precipitation information from IMERG, and cloud radiative properties from CERES. Less than 35% of all deep cores are classified as hot towers, and we estimate that 800–1700 hot towers occur at any given time over the course of a day, with the mean maximum core and hot tower frequency occurring at the time of year when peak convective intensity and precipitation occur. …”
