Short Summary

The original paper investigated differences in convective variability over the South Asian region during active and break monsoon spells using 25 years of satellite observations and reanalysis data. This correction addresses specific errors in the description of Megha-tropiques SAPHIR data layers, reanalysis heat flux definitions, and a figure depicting cumulative frequency by altitude diagrams for relative humidity.

Objective

• To analyze differences in convective variability during active and break spells over the South Asian region using satellite observations and reanalysis data.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: South Asian region
• Temporal Scale: 25 years

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Reanalysis data (specific model not detailed in correction)
• Data sources: Satellite observations (specifically Megha-tropiques SAPHIR), Reanalysis data

Main Results

The provided text is a correction notice and does not contain the main results of the original study. It details corrections made to data descriptions (Megha-tropiques SAPHIR layers, reanalysis latent and sensible heat fluxes) and a figure (Cumulative frequency by altitude diagram for relative humidity vertical profiles).

Contributions

The provided text is a correction notice and does not describe the original contributions of the study.
