Convective cloud top vertical velocity estimated from geostationary satellite rapid‐scan measurements

Abstract We demonstrate that the rate of development of cumulus clouds, as inferred from the so‐called geostationary satellite “rapid‐scan” measurements, is a good proxy for convective cloud top vertical velocity related to deep convective clouds. Convective cloud top vertical velocity is estimated...
