Organization of tropical convection in low vertical wind shears: Role of updraft entrainment (2017, background): “…direction shortly after the onset of organization, as expected since the lateral convective source of water vapor (via detrainment) becomes more remote as organization progresses [see Pierrehumbert and Yang , 1993; Yang and Pierrehumbert , 1994; Couhert et al., 2010; Sherwood et al., 2010].”
Evaluating hydrological processes in the Community Atmosphere Model Version 5 (CAM5) using stable isotope ratios of water (2017, background): “This is due to the potentially strong role convection and clouds have on climate feedbacks and sensitivity [Sherwood et al., 2010, 2014].”
Global water vapor variability and trend from the latest 36 year (1979 to 2014) data of ECMWF and NCEP reanalyses, radiosonde, GPS, and microwave satellite (2016, background): “It should also be noted that reanalysis data may not be so reliable for areas where no or limited observations are available for the data assimilation [Oikonomou and O’Neill, 2006; Sherwood et al., 2010].”
