The Diurnal Path to Persistent Convective Self‐Aggregation [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 Clustering of tropical thunderstorms constitutes an important climate feedback because it influences the radiative balance. Convective self‐aggregation (CSA) is a profound modeling paradigm for explaining the clustering of tropical oceanic thunderstorms.

The Time Scale of Shallow Convective Self‐Aggregation in Large‐Eddy Simulations Is Sensitive to Numerics [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 Numerical simulations of the tropical mesoscales often exhibit a self‐reinforcing feedback between cumulus convection and shallow circulations, which leads to the self‐aggregation of clouds into large clusters.

Small disulfide loops in peptide hormones mediate self-aggregation and secretory granule sorting [PDF]
Life Science Alliance, 2022 Small disulfide loops of several peptide hormones are shown to promote aggregation of reporter proteins in cultured cells and to act as novel signals for sorting into secretory granules by self-aggregation.

Distortions of the Rain Distribution With Warming, With and Without Self‐Aggregation [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 We investigate how mesoscale circulations associated with convective aggregation can modulate the sensitivity of the hydrologic cycle to warming. We quantify changes in the full distribution of rain across radiative‐convective equilibrium states in a ...

Convective self–aggregation in a mean flow [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Convective self-aggregation is an atmospheric phenomenon seen in numerical simulations in a radiative convective equilibrium framework thought to be informative of some aspects of the behavior of real-world convection in the deep tropics.

Forcing Convection to Aggregate Using Diabatic Heating Perturbations
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 Tropical deep convection can aggregate into large clusters, which can have impacts on the local humidity and precipitation. Sea surface temperature (SST) gradients have been shown to organize convection, yet there has been little work done to investigate
