Mesoscale Cellular Convection Detection and Classification Using Convolutional Neural Networks: Insights From Long‐Term Observations at ARM Eastern North Atlantic Site by Jingjing Tian, Jennifer Comstock, Andrew Geiss, Peng Wu, Israel Silber, Damao Zhang, Parvathi Kooloth, Ya‐ Chien Feng

“…This method addresses some observational gaps in satellite data related to low temporal resolution, nighttime challenges, and limited vertical structure capture. The analysis of the MCC cases shows clear differences between closed and open MCCs: Closed MCC clouds are characterized by lower cloud tops and bases, shallower cloud geometrical depth, weaker horizontal wind speeds, stronger atmospheric stability, and a more homogeneous liquid water path than open MCCs. …”
