Evolution of convection during tropical cyclogenesis (2007, methodology): “We rst outline the use of a numerical cloud model in weak temperature gradient (WTG) mode (Sobel and Bretherton 2000; Sobel et al. 2001; Derbyshire et al. 2004; Mapes 2004; Raymond and Zeng 2005) to follow the evolution of convection in the environment characteristic of an intensifying tropical dist”
The Mechanics of Gross Moist Stability (2009, methodology): “The cloud resolving model results of Raymond and Zeng (2005) are in reasonable agreement with these observations, as the curve in figure 1 shows.”
Moisture modes and the Madden-Julian oscillation. (2009, background): “Thus, evidence from a variety of sources suggests that the MJO is driven at least in part by moisture mode instability.”
