## Abstract We examine the kinetic energy that may be generated from surface heating. Cumulonimbus, cumulus, mesoscale and largeβscale conversion of potential into kinetic energy can be identified in an idealized way, as distinct processes. Each has a characteristic thermodynamic efficiency.
## Abstract The anvil clouds of tropical mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in West Africa, the Maritime Continent and the Bay of Bengal have been examined with TRMM and CloudSat satellite data and ARM groundβbased radar observations. The anvils spreading out from the precipitating cores of MCSs a
