Convective and large‐scale mass flux profiles over tropical oceans determined from synergistic analysis of a suite of satellite observations

A new, satellite‐based methodology is developed to evaluate convective mass flux and large‐scale total mass flux. To derive the convective mass flux, candidate profiles of in‐cloud vertical velocity are first constructed with a simple plume model under the constraint of ambient sounding and then nar...
