            "description": "Analyzing a 16-yr Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite microwave imager (TMI) data for global tropical cyclones (TCs), this study examines the differences of various precipitation and convective properties in the TC’s inner core, specifically precipitation and convective intensity, symmetry, and frequency of various precipitation and convection types, during fast-growing (FG) versus slow-growing (SG) episodes. Instead of defining FG/SG as a 24-h period and treat each 24-h period as a separate case as in most previous statistical FG/SG studies, this work adopts an episode-based definition by consolidating all the continuous and overlapping 24-h FG/SG cases in each TC into FG/SG episodes to examine the evolution of each episode and compare the corresponding episode-relative stages between FG/SG episodes. The results show that FG episodes have significantly heavier rain rate, stronger convective intensities, more symmetric distribution of rain rate and convective intensity in the inner core for almost all corresponding episode-relative stages, compared with SG episodes. At the before-episode stage, FG episodes feature 11% heavier rain rate, 1% stronger convective intensity, 19% more stratiform rainfall frequency, 15% more shallow convection, 50% more deep convection, 21% more symmetric distribution of convective intensity, and 5% more asymmetric distribution of stratiform rainfall. These results can be used to improve FG predictions.",

            "description": "Most ocean general-circulation models face the persistent challenge that the simulated summer ocean mixed layers are too shallow, indicating a lack of mixing; climate models coupled to them simulate too hot sea-surface temperatures (SSTs). Global wind energy input to the oceans supplies a great amount of energy to the surface waves. It is commonly thought that wave-induced turbulence mixing occurs only through wave breaking, but that turbulence, though intense, is injected only to a depth of the order of a wave height. Here we lay the theoretical foundation that non-breaking ocean surface waves can enhance background turbulence and increase irreversible mixing. Such turbulence dissipation and mixing extend to about a horizontal wavelength in depth, comparable to the mixed-layer depth. The direct wave-to-turbulence transfer of energy occurs without needing to be linked to the second-order Stokes drift, and mixing is thus more effective. When introduced into ocean models, such mixing effectively reduces model biases, producing deeper summer mixed layers and cooler SSTs where waves are stronger, as in observations. The predicted wave-turbulence interactions have characteristics which are consistent with laboratory and field observations, including the wave-modulation of turbulence as an energy transfer mechanism, and absence of phase locking to the wave.",
