Sensitivity of Radiative–Convective Equilibrium Simulations to Horizontal Resolution
This paper investigates the impacts of horizontal resolution on the statistical behavior of convection. An idealized radiative–convective equilibrium is simulated for model resolutions ranging between 2 and 50 km. The simulations are compared based upon the analysis of the mean state, the energy and water vapor transport, and the probability distribution functions for various quantities. It is ...
متن کاملConvective Self-Aggregation and Tropical Cyclogenesis under the Hypohydrostatic Rescaling
The behavior of rotating and nonrotating aggregated convection is examined at various horizontal resolutions using the hypohydrostatic, or reduced acceleration in the vertical (RAVE), rescaling. This modification of the equations of motion reduces the scale separation between convectiveand larger-scale motions, enabling the simultaneous and explicit representation of both types of flow in a sin...
متن کاملLand-Atmosphere Interaction and Radiative-Convective Equilibrium
I present work on several topics related to land-atmosphere interaction and radiativeconvective equilibrium: the first two research chapters invoke ideas related to landatmosphere interaction to better understand radiative-convective equilibrium; the last two research chapters use the framework of radiative-convective equilibrium to better understand land-atmosphere interaction. First, I calcul...
متن کاملNon-rotating and rotating radiative-convective equilibrium
Radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE), in which the radiative cooling in the atmosphere is balanced by the convective heating in a horizontally homogeneous environment, is a good starting point for studying tropical convection. It also provides an idealized framework to compare analogous simulations by global climate models (GCMs) which rely on convective parameterizations, and cloud-resolving...
متن کاملTropical cyclogenesis in tropical waves
The development of tropical depressions within tropical waves over the Atlantic and eastern Pacific is usually preceded by a " surface low along the wave " as if to suggest a hybrid wave-vortex structure in which flow streamlines not only undulate with the waves, but form a closed circulation in the lower troposphere surrounding the low. This 5 structure, equatorward of the easterly jet axis, r...
