How Well Do We Understand and Evaluate Climate Change Feedback Processes (2006, background): “…ability of climate models to reproduce cloud variations observed at the diurnal (Yang and Slingo 2001; Dai and Trenberth 2004; Slingo et al. 2004; Tian et al. 2004), seasonal (Tsushima and Manabe 2001; Zhang et al. 2005), interannual (Potter and Cess 2004; Ringer and Allan 2004) and decadal…”
Diurnal Variation in Precipitation over India during the Summer Monsoon Season: Observed and Model Predicted (2007, background): “In the Tropics most of the rainfall is from the tall clouds (Cu or Cb) formed by convection within a deep layer of the atmosphere.”
A simple method to relate microwave radiances to upper tropospheric humidity (2005, methodology): “[7] Quite a number of studies have used the BT transformation method to transform infrared radiances into UTH [Escoffier et al., 2001; Tian et al., 2004; Bates and Jackson, 2001; Soden et al., 2004], including a recent study on humidity supersaturation with respect to ice as seen by the…”
