A two-column radiative–convective equilibrium (RCE) model is used to study the depth of convection that develops in the subsiding branch of a Walker-like overturning circulation. The model numerically solves for two-dimensional non-rotating hydrostatic flow, which is damped by mo

EUREC4A
A Field Campaign to Elucidate the Couplings Between Clouds, Convection and Circulation
Trade-wind cumuli constitute the cloud type with the highest frequency of occurrence on Earth, and it has been shown that their sensitivity to changing environmental conditions will critically influence the magnitude and pace of future global warming. Research over the last decad

Space-borne observations reveal that 20–40% of marine convective clouds below the freezing level produce rain. In this paper we speculate what the prevalence of warm rain might imply for convection and large-scale circulations over tropical oceans. We present results using a two-

In Paris, France, December 2015, the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) invited the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide a <q>special report in 2018 on the impacts of global warming of

Using a two-column radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) model of a Walker-like overturning circulation, we aim to conceptualize mechanisms that control the depth of convection and precipitation in the subsiding column.
The model numerically solves for two-dimensional, non-rotat
