Evaluation of cloud‐resolving and limited area model intercomparison simulations using TWP‐ICE observations: 1. Deep convective updraft properties (2014, background): “…which account for a large fraction of tropical rainfall [Del Genio and Kovari, 2002; Houze, 2004] and strongly impact large-scale dynamics by controlling the distribution of free tropospheric heating [Houze, 1982, 1989, 1997, 2004;Hartmann et al., 1984; Johnson, 1984; Schumacher et al., 2004].”
Structure and Evolution of Mesoscale Convective Systems: Sensitivity to Cloud Microphysics in Convection‐Permitting Simulations Over the United States (2018, background): “As discussed in the introduction, larger fraction of stratiform precipitation results in top-heavier diabatic heating profiles (Schumacher et al., 2004).”
Uncertainty quantification and parameter tuning in the CAM5 Zhang‐McFarlane convection scheme and impact of improved convection on the global circulation and climate (2013, background): “The associated redistribution of diabatic heating can consequently induce an intensification of the circulation [Schumacher et al., 2004].”
The Observed State of the Energy Budget in the Early Twenty-First Century (2015, background): “…the surface, the atmosphere, and space play a central role in establishing the large-scale atmosphere and ocean circulation patterns that ultimately drive both weather and climate (e.g., Hartmann et al. 1984; Lau and Peng 1987; Slingo and Slingo 1988, 1991; Lee et al. 2001; Schumacher et al. 2004).”
The mesoscale convection life cycle: building block or prototype for large-scale tropical waves? (2006, background): “Such variation can be found on many scales, e.g. between dry and wet epochs in these EPIC data (Petersen et al., 2003); or between eastern versus western Pacific, with global consequences (Schumacher et al., 2004).”
Structure and Properties of Madden–Julian Oscillations Deduced from DYNAMO Sounding Arrays (2013, methodology): “The more-elevated peak to the north is also indicative of a higher fraction of stratiform rainfall in that region compared to the south (Houze 1982; Johnson 1984; Houze 1989; Schumacher et al. 2004).”
A Global High‐Resolution Mesoscale Convective System Database Using Satellite‐Derived Cloud Tops, Surface Precipitation, and Tracking (2021, background): “The top-heavy heating profiles associated with tropical MCS have profound impact on the global circulation, extending beyond the tropics into midlatitudes (Schumacher et al., 2004).”
Strong and moderate nonlinear El Niño regimes (2016, background): “Additionally, the horizontal and vertical distribution of the convective heating should be assessed, as they will affect the response in the zonal wind stress (e.g. Wu 2003; Schumacher et al. 2004).”
A Comparison of TWP-ICE Observational Data with Cloud-Resolving Model Results (2012, methodology): “[21] Latent heating rate profiles retrieved over the TWPICE domain were provided by Courtney Schumacher [Schumacher et al., 2004] based on a separate processing of C-POL raw radar data, including gridding at 2-km rather than 2.5-km resolution.”
