The mesoscale convection life cycle: building block or prototype for large-scale tropical waves? (2006, methodology): “These notions may be usefully testable in simple discretized tropical wave models, with two vertical wavenumber dynamics and three cloud types (Khouider and Majda, 2006; Mapes, 2000), perhaps calibrated with CRM results (Tulich et al., in press).”

The Formation of Wider and Deeper Clouds as a Result of Cold-Pool Dynamics (2014, background): “Several successful attempts have been undertaken to include the effects of cold pools into parameterization schemes (e.g., Qian et al. 1998; Mapes 2000; Rio et al. 2009; Grandpeix and Lafore 2010; Hohenegger and Bretherton 2011).”
The Global Atmospheric Circulation Response to Tropical Diabatic Heating Associated with the Madden–Julian Oscillation during Northern Winter (2012, methodology): “to sustain the MJO by creating eddy available potential energy and a moisture-stratiform instability feedback process (Mapes 2000; Kuang 2008; Fu and Wang 2009).”
A Dual Mass Flux Framework for Boundary Layer Convection. Part I: Transport (2009, methodology): “Recent studies have revealed the existence of feedbacks between cumulus mass flux and the stability of the cloud base transition layer (Mapes, 2000; Bretherton et al., 2004; Neggers et al., 2004, 2006).”
Large‐Eddy Simulation of Maritime Deep Tropical Convection (2009, background): “Previous studies (Mapes 2000; Kuang and Bretherton 2006) have suggested that CIN plays an important role in regulating the cloud-base mass-flux.”
ATMOSPHERIC MOIST CONVECTION (2005, background): “Such effects are not evident in many theories of moist convection, and recent work has focused on better incorporating these and other effects, such as the regulating role of convective inhibition (Derbyshire et al. 2004, Mapes 2000).”
The observed structure of convectively coupled Kelvin waves: Comparison with simple models of coupled wave instability (2003, background): “Space–time spectra of deep convective cloudiness data reveal spectral peaks that lie along the dispersion curves for the equatorially trapped shallow water waves discussed by Matsuno (1966), such as Kelvin, n 5 1 equatorial Rossby, mixed Rossby–gravity, and inertio-gravity waves.”
A New Multiscale Model for the MaddenJulian Oscillation (2005, background): “Both observations (Mapes and Houze 1995) and theory (Mapes 2000; Majda and Shefter 2001; Majda et al. 2004) suggest that first baroclinic heating, the term proportional to sin(z) in (3.”

H. Seo & Wang, 2010).”
Zonal and Vertical Structure of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2005, background): “Over a wide range of scales, the heating in convectively coupled equatorial disturbances can be realistically approximated by a two-mode vertical structure (e.g., Mapes and Houze 1995; Mapes 2000; Majda and Shefter 2001; Majda et al. 2004; Haertel and Kiladis 2004).”
Observed Characteristics of the MJO Relative to Maximum Rainfall (2007, background): “Stratiform instability arises from a positive correlation between a second-mode temperature profile and second-mode stratiform heating structure (Houze 1997; Mapes 2000).”
Regional Heat Sources and the Active and Break Phases of Boreal Summer Intraseasonal (30–50 Day) Variability* (2005, background): “To represent the top heavy heating associated with the BSISV (Mapes 2000), the maximum prescribed heating is located at 400 hPa ( 0.”
A New Parameterization for Shallow Cumulus Convection and Its Application to Marine Subtropical Cloud-Topped Boundary Layers. Part I: Description and 1D Results (2004, background): “The specification of the mass flux closure has a form similar to that proposed by Mapes (2000) , who postulated that convective mass flux should vary as exp(2CIN/TKE).”
Representing Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Convection in Large-Scale Models (2014, background): “Mapes (2000), Rio et al. (2009), and Fletcher and Bretherton (2010) proposed convective closures involving the convective inhibition (CIN) and/or lifting by cold pools, while a humidity-dependent closure has been adopted in Fuchs and Raymond (2007).”
