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.

The Time Scale of Shallow Convective Self‐Aggregation in Large‐Eddy Simulations Is Sensitive to Numerics [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 Numerical simulations of the tropical mesoscales often exhibit a self‐reinforcing feedback between cumulus convection and shallow circulations, which leads to the self‐aggregation of clouds into large 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.

Cloud‐Radiation Interactions and Their Contributions to Convective Self‐Aggregation
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 This study investigates the direct radiative‐convective processes that drive and maintain aggregation within convection‐permitting elongated channel (and smaller square) simulations of the UK Met Office Unified Model. Our simulations are configured using

Self‐Aggregation of Convection in Spatially Varying Sea Surface Temperatures
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 The phenomenon of self‐aggregation of convection was first identified in convection‐permitting simulations of radiative convective equilibrium, characterized by homogeneous boundary conditions and in the absence of planetary rotation.
