An A-train and MERRA view of cloud, thermodynamic, and dynamic variability within the subtropical marine boundary layer

The global-scale patterns and covariances of subtropical marine boundary layer (MBL) cloud fraction and spatial variability with atmospheric thermodynamic and dynamic fields remain poorly understood. We describe an approach that leverages coincident NASA A-train and the Modern Era Retrospective-...
