Abstract:Vertical air motion influences cloud formation, mixing and transport processes. Due to limitations in spatial resolution, global atmospheric models cannot resolve the sub-kilometer scale component of this motion. Instead it is represented using the standard deviation in vertical wind velocity within a grid cell, σW. Using a novel deep learning model constrained by observational data, we reveal significant trends in σW over the period 1980-2023. These trends, reaching up to 1% yr-1 in low and mid-level oceanic … Show more
