Joint Seminar: Convective Organization in Sugar Trade Cumulus Clouds
Shallow, sparse, non-precipitating low convective (Trade Cumulus) clouds forming over the ocean are considered among the least organized cloud fields. The formation mechanism of these clouds is associated with random, local perturbations that create buoyant parcels. Their sparseness suggests no or very weak interactions between clouds. Here, we show that such clouds form within a well-organized, stable, dense mesh of convective cells that operate continuously, independent of the presence of visible clouds.
