Fractal Dimension of Shallow Cumulus Cloud Boundaries Beyond Bulk Fractal Scaling

Abstract Cloud boundaries reflect turbulent mixing and cloud–environment interactions, but their geometric complexity remains poorly quantified. Here, we investigate the complexity of shallow cumulus cloud edge using two fractal approaches: the bulk area–perimeter method and the...

Contrasting Terrestrial Moisture Controls on Precipitation and Interannual Variability across the Southern and Northern Tibetan Plateau

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays a crucial role in the Asian hydrological cycle, yet the dominant moisture sources and their governing physical processes remain debated. Here, we employ the Eulerian water tracer technique embedded in Community Earth System Model version 1 (CESM1),...
