A Global High‐Resolution Mesoscale Convective System Database Using Satellite‐Derived Cloud Tops, Surface Precipitation, and Tracking (2021, methodology): “In midlatitudes, the IR-only method has been useful for MCSs during the warm season in the Americas (Fritsch et al., 1986; Jirak et al., 2003; Machado et al., 1998), China (Chen et al., 2019; X. R. Yang et al., 2015) and Europe (Morel & Senesi, 2002).”
Forecast and Tracking the Evolution of Cloud Clusters (ForTraCC) Using Satellite Infrared Imagery: Methodology and Validation (2008, methodology): “In previous works, like Morel and Senesi (2002), a size threshold of 1000 km2 for Meteosat (around 70 pixels for GOES resolution) is established to track MCSs; so our selection appears to be a conservative assumption for describing the life cycle of a given MCS. b.”
Overshooting cloud top detections using MSG SEVIRI Infrared brightness temperatures and their relationship to severe weather over Europe (2011, background): “Morel and Senesi (2002) describe perhaps the most comprehensive satellite-based European convective cloud climatology to date.”
