Convective aggregation in realistic convective-scale simulations [PDF]

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2017
To investigate the real-world relevance of idealized-model convective self-aggregation, five 15-day cases of real organized convection in the tropics are simulated.

Observing Convective Aggregation. [PDF]

Surv Geophys, 2017
Convective self-aggregation, the spontaneous organization of initially scattered convection into isolated convective clusters despite spatially homogeneous boundary conditions and forcing, was first recognized and studied in idealized numerical simulations.

What favors convective aggregation and why? [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2015
AbstractThe organization of convection is ubiquitous, but its physical understanding remains limited. One particular type of organization is the spatial self‐aggregation of convection, taking the form of cloud clusters, or tropical cyclones in the presence of rotation.

Forcing Convection to Aggregate Using Diabatic Heating Perturbations [PDF]

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021
Tropical deep convection can aggregate into large clusters, which can have impacts on the local humidity and precipitation. Sea surface temperature (SST) gradients have been shown to organize convection, yet there has been little work done to investigate

The Diurnal Path to Persistent Convective Self‐Aggregation [PDF]

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
Clustering of tropical thunderstorms constitutes an important climate feedback because it influences the radiative balance. Convective self‐aggregation (CSA) is a profound modeling paradigm for explaining the clustering of tropical oceanic thunderstorms.

Clouds and Convective Self‐Aggregation in a Multimodel Ensemble of Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Simulations

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020
The Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Model Intercomparison Project (RCEMIP) is an intercomparison of multiple types of numerical models configured in radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE).

Spontaneous Aggregation of Convective Storms [PDF]

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2021
<p>Idealized simulations of the tropical atmosphere have predicted that clouds can spontaneously clump together in space, despite perfectly homogeneous settings. This phenomenon has been called self-aggregation, and results in a state where a moist cloudy region with intense deep convective storms is surrounded by extremely dry subsiding ...

Radiative–convective equilibrium model intercomparison project [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2018
RCEMIP, an intercomparison of multiple types of models configured in radiative–convective equilibrium (RCE), is proposed. RCE is an idealization of the climate system in which there is a balance between radiative cooling of the atmosphere and heating ...

The Role of Convective Self‐Aggregation in Extreme Instantaneous Versus Daily Precipitation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019
The impacts of convective self‐aggregation on extreme precipitation and updraft velocity are investigated by using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model in the idealized setting of radiative‐convective equilibrium with a 3‐km horizontal resolution ...

Sensitivity of Self‐Aggregation and the Key Role of the Free Convection Distance

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Recently, Biagioli and Tompkins (2023, https://doi.org/10.1029/2022ms003231) used a simple stochastic model to derive a dimensionless parameter to predict convective self aggregation (SA) development, which was based on the derivation of the maximum free
