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.

Structure of the Atmosphere in Radiative–Convective Equilibrium
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2002 Abstract To investigate water vapor transport in an atmosphere in radiative–convective equilibrium, a simplified dynamical convection model (DCM) was constructed that explicitly models moist convection and longwave radiation in a gray atmosphere. In the subsidence region of the equilibrium, atmosphere is predicted by the DCM, dynamical heating, and ...

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.

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).

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 ...

The Inhomogeneity Effect. III. Weather Impacts on the Heat Flow of Hot Jupiters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The interior flux of a giant planet impacts atmospheric motion, and the atmosphere dictates the interior’s cooling. Here we use a non-hydrostatic general circulation model (Simulating Non-hydrostatic Atmospheres on Planets) coupled with a multi-stream ...

Radiative convective equilibrium over a land surface
Journal of Climate, 2014 Radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) describes an idealized state of the atmosphere in which the vertical temperature profile is determined by a balance between radiative and convective fluxes. While RCE has been applied extensively over oceans, its application over the land surface has been limited.

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.
