Intraseasonal Vertical Cloud Regimes Based on CloudSat Observations over the Tropics

Intraseasonal Vertical Cloud Regimes Based on CloudSat Observations over the Tropics

This study identifies the evolution of tropical vertical cloud regimes (CRs) and their associated heating structures on the intraseasonal time scales. Using the cloud classification retrievals of CloudSat during boreal winter between 2006 and 2017, the CR index is defined as the leading pair of the...
