Investigating the Causes and Impacts of Convective Aggregation in a High Resolution Atmospheric GCM
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 A ∼50 km resolution atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) is used to investigate the impact of radiative interactions on spatial organization of convection, the model's mean state, and extreme precipitation events in the presence of realistic ...

Sensitivity of Convective Self‐Aggregation to Domain Size
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 A 3‐D cloud‐resolving model has been used to investigate the domain size dependence of simulations of convective self‐aggregation (CSA) in radiative‐convective equilibrium. We investigate how large a domain is needed to allow multiple convective clusters

Convective self–aggregation in a mean flow [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Convective self-aggregation is an atmospheric phenomenon seen in numerical simulations in a radiative convective equilibrium framework thought to be informative of some aspects of the behavior of real-world convection in the deep tropics.
