Where's the convection? Some findings from the OTREC project

The relationship between sea surface temperature (SST) and surface convergence (SC) is an important factor in understanding the precipitation response to climate change over tropical oceans. Surface convergence is a measure of the rate at which air is converging towards a particular point on the surface and is a key driver of the formation of clouds and precipitation. On the other hand, SST is a major driver of atmospheric circulation and can influence the distribution of precipitation over tropical oceans. In this study, we investigate their relationship using data from the OTREC project and the software CANDIS. We analyze the relationship between these variables using statistical methods and compare our results with the findings of previous studies.
