Competing effects of surface albedo and orographic elevated heating on regional climate
All else being equal, a given atmospheric pressure level is thought to be warmer over a plateau than over surrounding nonelevated terrain because of orographic “elevated heating.” However, elevated surfaces are also typically brighter due to reduced ...

The climate time scale in the approach to radiative‐convective equilibrium
In this paper, we discuss the importance of the surface boundary condition (fixed versus interactive surface temperature) for the long time scale of approach to Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium (RCE). Using a simple linearized two‐variable model for surface‐atmosphere interaction, we derive an analytic expression for τC, a long climate relaxation time ...

Equilibrium Tropical Cyclone Size in an Idealized State of Axisymmetric Radiative–Convective Equilibrium* [PDF]
AbstractTropical cyclone size remains an unsolved problem in tropical meteorology, yet size plays a significant role in modulating damage. This work employs the Bryan cloud model (CM1) to systematically explore the sensitivity of the structure of an axisymmetric tropical cyclone at statistical equilibrium to the set of relevant model, initial, and ...

Diurnal Variation of Simulated Cumulus Convection in Radiative-Convective Equilibrium
This study investigates the representation of the diurnal variation of cumulus convection in radiative-convective equilibrium states in an area of 200 km by 200 km without large-scale forcing by using a non-hydrostatic model with sub-kilometer horizontal resolutions.

Tropical cyclogenesis sensitivity to environmental parameters in radiative–convective equilibrium [PDF]
AbstractIn this study, the relationship between the likelihood of tropical cyclogenesis and external environmental forcings is explored in the simplest idealized modelling framework possible: radiative‐convective equilibrium on a doubly periodic f‐plane.

Coupled radiative convective equilibrium simulations with explicit and parameterized convection
AbstractRadiative convective equilibrium has been applied in past studies to various models given its simplicity and analogy to the tropical climate. At convection‐permitting resolution, the focus has been on the organization of convection that appears when using fixed sea surface temperature (SST).

The present study investigates recycling of NiTi shape memory alloys via vacuum induction melting. An ingot was synthesized from elemental Ni and Ti and subjected to three subsequent remelting cycles. Remelting increases process durations and impurity levels and adversely affects microstructures and functional properties.

Irradiated Atmospheres. III. Radiative-convective-mixing Equilibrium for Nongray Picket-fence Model
The nongray picket-fence model predicts more accurately the temperatures in low-density regions compared to semigray models. This study investigates how the vertical-mixing and convection fluxes modify the picket-fence model.
