Can We Use 1D Models to Predict 3D Model Response to Forcing in an Idealized Framework?
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 Single‐column models (SCMs) simulations are sometimes used to evaluate model physics and aid parameterization development. However, few studies have systematically compared SCM behavior—where column boundary conditions are specified—with that of ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 The nature of convective organization remains elusive, despite its importance in understanding the role of clouds in climate systems. This study reports a new type of large‐scale structure formed by the self‐organization of deep moist atmospheric ...

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 ...

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

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

Ensemble of Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Simulations Near the Aggregated and Scattered Boundary
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 An ensemble of 10 radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) simulations near the sharp transition zone between scattered and aggregated states are examined in a square‐domain cloud‐resolving model.

Clouds and Radiation in a Mock‐Walker Circulation
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 The Walker circulation connects the regions with deep atmospheric convection in the western tropical Pacific to the shallow‐convection, tropospheric subsidence, and stratocumulus cloud decks of the eastern Pacific.

On baroclinic adjustment of a radiative convective atmosphere
Annals of Geophysics, 1998 In this paper we study the implication of the hypothesis that the radiative convective equilibrium climate is neutral with respect to baroclinic eddies. If such neutral state is achieved by tropopause height readjustment, we find that the sensitivity of ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 We conduct radiative convection equilibrium experiments using a global nonhydrostatic model to investigate the dependence of convective self‐aggregation (CSA) on domain size and sea surface temperature (SST).

FAT or FiTT: Are Anvil Clouds or the Tropopause Temperature Invariant?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 The Fixed Anvil Temperature (FAT) hypothesis proposes that upper tropospheric cloud fraction peaks at a special isotherm that is independent of surface temperature.
