New Paper: Land Surface Influence on Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) Change during Interstorms
Using two global satellite datasets (SMAP and AIRS), we analyze the impact of surface energy balance partitioning on convective development by tracking CAPE over soil moisture drydowns (interstorms) during the summer, when land–atmosphere coupling is strongest. Our results show that the sign and magnitude of CAPE development during summertime drydowns depends on regional hydroclimate and…
