Radiation, Clouds, and Self‐Aggregation in RCEMIP Simulations
The responses of tropical anvil cloud and low‐level cloud to a warming climate are among the largest sources of uncertainty in our estimates of climate sensitivity.

Competing Effect of Radiative and Moisture Feedback in Convective Aggregation States in Two CRMs
The radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE) of two models exhibiting convective aggregation has been compared. The goal of the work, following the suggestion from the RCE Model Intercomparison Project (RCEMIP), is to identify key parameters controlling ...

A Spectrum of Convective Self‐Aggregation Based on Background Rotation
High‐resolution modeling reveals a tendency for deep convection to spontaneously self‐aggregate from radiative‐convective equilibrium. Self‐aggregated convection takes different forms in nonrotating versus rotating environments, including tropical ...

Cloud‐Radiation Interactions and Their Contributions to Convective Self‐Aggregation
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

Quantifying Convective Aggregation Using the Tropical Moist Margin's Length
On small scales, the tropical atmosphere tends to be either moist or very dry. This defines two states that, on large scales, are separated by a sharp margin, well identified by the antimode of the bimodal tropical column water vapor distribution ...

Self-aggregation of soil humic acids with respect to their structural characteristics [PDF]
The main goal of this work was to estimate the influence of carboxyl and phenolic groups, as well as aromatic, aliphatic and polysaccharide components, on the soil humic acids (HA) self-aggregation process.

In a modeled environment of rotating radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE), convective self‐aggregation may take the form of spontaneous tropical cyclogenesis. We investigate the processes leading to tropical cyclogenesis in idealized simulations with a

First-principles simulations of the initial phase of self-aggregation of a cyanine dye: structure and optical spectra [PDF]
Using first-principles simulations, we investigated the initial steps of the self-aggregation of the dye pseudoisocyanine (PIC) in water. First, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the self-aggregation process, in which pile-of-coins ...

Convective self-aggregation in numerical simulations: a review [PDF]
Organized convection in the Tropics occurs across a range of spatial and temporal scales and strongly influences cloud cover and humidity. One mode of organization found is “self-aggregation”, in which moist convection spontaneously organizes into one or

Colloidal stability of tannins: astringency, wine tasting and beyond [PDF]
Tannin-tannin and tannin-protein interactions in water-ethanol solvent mixtures are studied in the context of red wine tasting. While tannin self-aggregation is relevant for visual aspect of wine tasting (limpidity and related colloidal phenomena ...
