A method for representing geographic variability in vertical motion profile top-heaviness in reanalysis data is introduced. The results from this method are compared to a satellite-based method for estimating top-heaviness of vertical motion profiles over the oceans. The satellite-based method utilizes basis functions, idealized or from reanalysis, along with scatterometer wind convergence data and rainfall to estimate the top-heaviness of the vertical motion profile. Results from the two methods of estimating top-heaviness are significantly correlated. Both estimates of top-heaviness are compared to stratiform, shallow, and convective rain fraction. Findings show geographic variability in stratiform rain fraction is not well correlated with estimated profile top-heaviness. Shallow rain fraction is not variable enough to explain this finding. The results may be due to geographic variations in the shape of convective or stratiform heating profiles. An example is given of how variations in convectiv...
