Simulations of Radiative‐Convective‐Dynamical Equilibrium
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 Small‐domain cloud‐resolving model and single‐column model simulations have historically applied one of three representations of large‐scale vertical motion, wLS.

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 ...

Properties, Changes, and Controls of Deep‐Convecting Clouds in Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 Changes in tropical high clouds associated with deep convection with warming are one of the largest sources of uncertainty in climate feedbacks. Here, we leverage an ensemble of models of many types in an idealized configuration to investigate how and ...

Radiative Convective Equilibrium and Organized Convection: An Observational Perspective [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2019 AbstractRadiative convective equilibrium (RCE) describes a balance between the cooling of the atmosphere by radiation and the heating through latent heat release and surface heat fluxes. While RCE is known to provide an energetic constraint on the atmosphere at the global scale, little is known about the proximity of the atmosphere to RCE at smaller ...

Convective Dynamics and the Response of Precipitation Extremes to Warming in Radiative–Convective Equilibrium [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2020 AbstractTropical precipitation extremes are expected to strengthen with warming, but quantitative estimates remain uncertain because of a poor understanding of changes in convective dynamics. This uncertainty is addressed here by analyzing idealized convection-permitting simulations of radiative–convective equilibrium in long-channel geometry. Across a

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 To explore the interactions among column processes in the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM), the single‐column version of CAM (SCAM) is integrated for 1000 days in radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) with tropical values of boundary conditions ...

Assessing Memory in Convection Schemes Using Idealized Tests
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 Two assumptions commonly applied in convection schemes—the diagnostic and quasi‐equilibrium assumptions—imply that convective activity (e.g., convective precipitation) is controlled only by the large‐scale (macrostate) environment at the time.

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 ...
