Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 We introduce a minimal stochastic lattice model for the column relative humidity (R) in the tropics, which incorporates convective moistening, horizontal transport and subsidence drying.

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 ...

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 ...

Distortions of the Rain Distribution With Warming, With and Without Self‐Aggregation
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 We investigate how mesoscale circulations associated with convective aggregation can modulate the sensitivity of the hydrologic cycle to warming. We quantify changes in the full distribution of rain across radiative‐convective equilibrium states in a ...

Convection and Convective‐Organization in Hothouse Climates
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 In a “hothouse” climate, warm temperatures lead to a high tropospheric water vapor concentration. Sufficiently high water vapor levels lead to the closing of the water vapor infrared window, which prevents radiative cooling of the lower troposphere ...

RCEMIP-II: mock-Walker simulations as phase II of the radiative–convective equilibrium model intercomparison project [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentThe radiative–convective equilibrium (RCE) model intercomparison project (RCEMIP) leveraged the simplicity of RCE to focus attention on moist convective processes and their interactions with radiation and circulation across a wide range of model types ...

Forcing Convection to Aggregate Using Diabatic Heating Perturbations
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

Competing Effect of Radiative and Moisture Feedback in Convective Aggregation States in Two CRMs
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 The radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) of two models exhibiting convective aggregation has been compared. The goal of the work, following the suggestion from the RCE Model Intercomparison Project (RCEMIP), is to identify key parameters controlling ...

Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2020 In radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE), radiative cooling of the troposphere is roughly balanced by the vaporization enthalpy set free by precipitating moist convection.
