“…During this period, observational studies such as RICO (Rauber et al, 2007) and the emergence of satellite imagery with spatial resolution on the hectometer scale began emphasizing how shallow clouds in the trades adopt different forms of organization, often in association with precipitation development and the formation of cold pools (Seifert & Heus, 2013;Seifert et al, 2015;Zuidema et al, 2012). More recently, several approaches to characterize these forms of organizations have been developed (Denby, 2020;Janssens et al, 2021;Stevens et al, 2020). Stevens et al (2020) identified that most of the largescale patterns of shallow convection can be categorized into four categories, which they called Sugar, Gravel, Flowers, and Fish. Although based solely on the subjective visual inspection of visible satellite imagery in the vicinity of the Barbados Cloud Observatory (BCO), these patterns have varied net cloud radiative effects and thus may influence Earth's climate sensitivity (Bony et al, 2020).…”
