A Spectrum of Convective Self‐Aggregation Based on Background Rotation
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 High‐resolution modeling reveals a tendency for deep convection to spontaneously self‐aggregate from radiative‐convective equilibrium. Self‐aggregated convection takes different forms in nonrotating versus rotating environments, including tropical ...

The Impact of a Land‐Sea Contrast on Convective Aggregation in Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 Convective aggregation is an important atmospheric phenomenon which frequently occurs in idealized models in radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE), where the effects of land, rotation, sea surface temperature gradients, and the diurnal cycle are often ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 The Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Model Intercomparison Project (RCEMIP) consists of simulations at three fixed sea‐surface temperatures (SSTs: 295, 300, and 305 K) and thus allows for a calculation of the climate feedback parameter based on the ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 This study investigates the mechanisms by which small‐scale turbulence and cloud physics determine the organization of large‐scale convection in radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE), an idealization of the tropical atmosphere.

Self‐Aggregation of Convective Clouds With Interactive Sea Surface Temperature
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 This study investigates the feedbacks between an interactive sea surface temperature (SST) and the self‐aggregation of deep convective clouds, using a cloud‐resolving model in nonrotating radiative‐convective equilibrium.

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

Radiation, Clouds, and Self‐Aggregation in RCEMIP Simulations
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 The responses of tropical anvil cloud and low‐level cloud to a warming climate are among the largest sources of uncertainty in our estimates of climate sensitivity.
