A numerical modeling investigation of entrainment in cumulus congestus clouds and its effects upon precipitation
… of convective rainfall. An idealized, simulated cumulus congestus was used to analyze how successive thermals diluted differently when entraining air locally modified by their predecessors. Directly-calculated entrainment rates were found to be strongest at the rear of each successive thermal, …

Factors Governing Cloud Growth and Entrainment Rates in Shallow Cumulus and Cumulus Congestus During GoAmazon 2014/2015
Shallow cumulus and cumulus congestus clouds play an important role in the large-scale tropical circulation by mixing heat and moisture vertically and preconditioning the environment for deeper convection. Different representations of these shallow clouds also account for much of the spread in …

Characterization of Tropical Clouds Using Multi-Satellite Observations
… cloud regime. Signatures of deep convection, cumulus congestus, and shallow precipitating clouds were identified in the three precipitating cloud clusters. Regions of shallow precipitating clouds are mostly associated with sinking air motion, while deep convective and congestus cloud regimes …

Characterization of the role of precipitation in tropical cyclone intensification
… diabatic heating and vertical fluxes from cumulus congestus, deep convection, and convective bursts near RI onset with a secondary heating role apparently associated with stratiform precipitation, whereas the high shear simulation is nearly-entirely CB driven. Within the low shear …
