Convective self-aggregation in numerical simulations: a review [PDF]

, 2017
Organized convection in the Tropics occurs across a range of spatial and temporal scales and strongly influences cloud cover and humidity. One mode of organization found is “self-aggregation”, in which moist convection spontaneously organizes into one or

Theory of activated-rate processes under shear with application to shear-induced aggregation of colloids [PDF]

, 2009
Using a novel approximation scheme within the convective diffusion (two body Smoluchowski) equation framework, we unveil the shear-driven aggregation mechanism at the origin of structure-formation in sheared colloidal systems.

The sensitivity of convective aggregation to diabatic processes in idealized radiative-convective equilibrium simulations [PDF]

, 2016
Idealized explicit convection simulations of the Met Office Unified Model exhibit spontaneous self-aggregation in radiative-convective equilibrium, as seen in other models in previous studies.

Scaling properties of velocity and temperature spectra above the surface friction layer in a convective atmospheric boundary layer [PDF]

, 2007
International audienceWe report velocity and temperature spectra measured at nine levels from 1.42 meters up to 25.7 m over a smooth playa in Western Utah. Data are from highly convective conditions when the magnitude of the Obukhov length (our proxy for

Physical mechanisms controlling self-aggregation of convection in idealized numerical modeling simulations [PDF]

, 2013
We elucidate the physics of self-aggregation by applying a new diagnostic technique to the output of a cloud resolving model. Specifically, the System for Atmospheric Modeling is used to perform 3- D cloud system resolving simulations of radiative ...

A single scaling parameter as a first approximation to describe the rainfall pattern of a place: application on Catalonia [PDF]

, 2018
As well as in other natural processes, it has been frequently observed that the phenomenon arising from the rainfall generation process presents fractal self-similarity of statistical type, and thus, rainfall series generally show scaling properties ...

Deposition And Drying Dynamics Of Liquid Crystal Droplets [PDF]

, 2017
Drop drying and deposition phenomena reveal a rich interplay of fundamental science and engineering, give rise to fascinating everyday effects (coffee rings), and influence technologies ranging from printing to genotyping. Here we investigate evaporation

How organized is deep convection over Germany? [PDF]

, 2019
Deep moist convection shows a tendency to organize into mesoscale structures. To be able to understand the potential effect of convective organization on the climate, one needs first to characterize organization.

What favors convective aggregation and why?

, 2015
International audienceThe 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
