Understanding precipitation, cold pools, and cloud arcs in the tropics
Before the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign that took place near Antigua and Barbuda from 2004-2005, it was thought that most trade wind cumulus clouds do not precipitate. The main goal of the RICO field campaign was to study rain in tropical marine cumuli and how this rain …

Trade wind cloud evolution observed by polarization radar: relationship to aerosol characteristics
One of the classical unsolved problems in cloud physics is the explanation of the observed short time between initial cloud formation and the onset of precipitation in warm clouds. Although a time interval of about 20 minutes is often quoted for initiation of warm rainfall, few field observations …

A revised conceptual model of the tropical marine boundary layer
This work consists of the development and validation of a new radar product based on Bragg scattering retrievals from clear air S-band radar returns, a re-conceptualization of the tropical marine boundary layer based on this new radar product, and supplemental analysis of other data from this …
