  bibo_abstract:
  - Tropical shallow clouds are a major source of uncertainty in Earth's climate sensitivity,
    especially through their spatial arrangement, which global climate models do not
    represent. Efforts to understand their organization have partly relied on classifying
    observed scenes, identifying four patterns as archetypal regimes. Here we analyze
    geostationary satellite imagery of the western tropical Atlantic using the L‐function,
    a tool based on point pattern theory that quantifies cloud organization across
    spatial scales. Classical examples of the four patterns show distinct L‐function
    fingerprints, revealing their characteristic clustering and regularity scales
    and aiding physical interpretation. Yet, when evaluating many scenes at fixed
    spatial scales, the L‐function distribution lacks the distinct modes expected
    from discrete regimes. This is corroborated by analyses of other organization
    indices employing diverse approaches, from inter‐cloud nearest‐neighbor distances
    to fractal analysis. Implications for the parameterization of mesoscale cloud
    organization in climate models are discussed.@eng
