DOI: 10.1029/2021gl092546
Abstract: Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) with larger rain areas and higher rainfall intensity than non‐MCS events can produce severe flooding. Flooding occurrences associated with MCS and non‐MCS rainfall in the US east of 110°W are examined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl094873
Abstract: The rapid onset of the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) is featured as an abrupt increase of rainfall and atmospheric column‐integrated moist static energy (MSE). Using convection‐permitting simulations, a novel cloud tracking technique, and an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl103335
Abstract: Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) produce over 50% of tropical precipitation and account for the majority of extreme rainfall and flooding events. MCSs are considered the building blocks of larger‐scale convectively coupled equatorial waves (CCEWs). While… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-21-0124.1
Abstract: Convective vertical transport is critical in the monsoonal overturning but the relative roles of different convective systems are not well understood. This study used a cloud classification and tracking technique to decompose a convection-permitting simulation… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos10090503
Abstract: Representing mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) and their multi-scale interaction with the large-scale atmospheric dynamics is still a major challenge in state-of-the-art global numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. This results in potentially defective forecasts of synoptic-scale… read more here.
