Clouds and Convective Self‐Aggregation in a Multimodel Ensemble of Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Simulations [PDF]

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020
The Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Model Intercomparison Project (RCEMIP) is an intercomparison of multiple types of numerical models configured in radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE).

Congestus Mode Invigoration by Convective Aggregation in Simulations of Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium [PDF]

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
This study examines how the congestus mode of tropical convection is expressed in numerical simulations of radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE). We draw insights from the ensemble of cloud‐resolving models participating in the RCE Model Intercomparison

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 ...

Fine Vertical Resolution Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Experiments: Roles of Turbulent Mixing on the High‐Cloud Response to Sea Surface Temperatures

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019
In this study, the vertical resolution dependency of the high‐cloud fraction response on the increase in sea surface temperature was investigated via radiative‐convective equilibrium simulations.

Modulation of the Bifurcation in Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium by Gray‐Zone Cloud and Turbulence Parameterizations

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.

Clouds, Circulation, and Climate Sensitivity in a Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Channel Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2017
Tropical cloud and circulation changes are large sources of uncertainty in future climate change. This problem owes partly to the scale separation between large‐scale tropical dynamics ( ∼104 km) and convective dynamics ( ∼1 km), which generally requires

Atmospheric Instability and Its Associated Oscillations in the Tropics

Atmosphere, 2023
The interaction between tropical clouds and radiation is studied in the context of the weak temperature gradient approximation, using very low order systems (e.g., a two-column two-layer model) as a zeroth-order approximation.

The emergence of a new wintertime Arctic energy balance regime

Environmental Research: Climate, 2023
The modern Arctic climate during wintertime is characterized by sea-ice cover, a strong surface temperature inversion, and the absence of convection. Correspondingly, the energy balance in the Arctic atmosphere today is dominated by atmospheric radiative

Vertical Resolution Impacts Explicit Simulation of Deep Convection

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023
The aggregation of tropical convection greatly influences the mean‐state of the atmosphere, altering humidity distributions, total atmospheric radiative cooling, and cloud amounts.
