DOI: 10.1002/2016gl071895
Abstract: Using Argo floats, we show that a major deep convective activity occurred simultaneously in the Labrador Sea (LAB), South of Cap Farewell (SCF) and the Irminger Sea (IRM) during winter 2014–2015. Convection was driven by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019ms001820
Abstract: Deep convection over tropical oceans often appears intensified at the edge of convectively active regions, both in idealized studies and in observations. This edge intensification of convection is studied in detail here, using the steady… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022ms003413
Abstract: Quantifying the microphysical process contributions to surface precipitation in numerical simulations can be challenging. This is due to the fact that many microphysical processes contribute to the formation and depletion of rain drops and there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-22-0178.1
Abstract: By ventilating the deep ocean, deep convection in the Labrador Sea plays a crucial role in the climate system. Unfortunately, the mechanisms leading to the cessation of convection and, hence, the mechanisms by which a… read more here.
