On the nature of the atmospheric cloud radiative effect and its impact on tropical convection
Tropical high clouds have been shown to converge radiant energy within the atmosphere. We term this phenomenon the Atmospheric Cloud Radiative Effect (ACRE). The addition of energy unequally in space and time has profound effects on tropical convection. In this thesis, we show that the extra …

Unraveling atmospheric physics and chemistry of long-range transport of pollutants: Development of novel tools and methods
Long-range transport (LRT) of pollutants causes changes in background concentrations of pollutants (e.g., ozone, O3; and nitrogen dioxide, NO2) and alarming high peaks of unhealthy criteria pollutants (e.g., particulate matter, PM; and carbon monoxide, CO) in downwind regions. As the chemical …

Downdraft impacts on tropical convection
… to a point where large domain, high resolution cloud resolving models (CRMs) can easily be run for long simulations. This study uses several simulations with 1 km horizontal resolution from the System for Atmospheric Modeling (SAM) v6.8.2 to examine convective downdrafts. We look at …
