Colón-Burgos, D., and M. M. Bell, : Convective Organization in African Easterly Waves Observed during the NAMMA and CPEX-CV Field Campaigns. Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres, accepted , https://doi.org/10.1029/2025JD045516

Key Points

  • NASA aircraft observations of 20 African Easterly Wave (AEW) cases are analyzed in a potential vorticity framework on the meso‐alpha scale
  • Four clusters of minimal, southern, southwestern, and widespread deep convection are found relative to the AEW potential vorticity centroids
  • The deep convective organization is associated with observed mid‐level potential vorticity and relative humidity and low‐level convergence
