Eddy Influences on Hadley Circulations: Simulations with an Idealized GCM [PDF]
, 2006 An idealized GCM is used to investigate how the strength and meridional extent of the Hadley circulation depend on the planet radius, rotation rate, and thermal driving.

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 ...

Convective cores in galactic cooling flows [PDF]
, 2000 We use hydrodynamic simulations with adaptive grid refinement to study the dependence of hot gas flows in X-ray luminous giant elliptical galaxies on the efficiency of heat supply to the gas. We consider a number of potential heating mechanisms including

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

Self-Organization of Atmospheric Macroturbulence into Critical States of Weak Nonlinear Eddy–Eddy Interactions [PDF]
, 2006 It is generally held that atmospheric macroturbulence can be strongly nonlinear. Yet weakly nonlinear models successfully account for scales and structures of baroclinic eddies in Earth's atmosphere.

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

The Stagger-grid: A Grid of 3D Stellar Atmosphere Models - I. Methods and General Properties [PDF]
, 2013 We present the Stagger-grid, a comprehensive grid of time-dependent, 3D hydrodynamic model atmospheres for late-type stars with realistic treatment of radiative transfer, covering a wide range in stellar parameters. This grid of 3D models is intended for
