Land-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 کاملA Sensitivity Study of Radiative–Convective Equilibrium in the Tropics with a Convection-Resolving Model
Statistical-equilibrium (SE) states of radiative–convective systems in tropical oceanic conditions are simulated with a cloud ensemble model (CEM) in this study. Typical large-scale conditions from the Marshall Islands and the eastern tropical Atlantic regions are used to drive the CEM. The simulated SE precipitable water, column temperature, and relative humidity are only slightly higher than ...
متن کاملRadiative Constraints on the Hydrological Cycle in an Idealized Radiative–Convective Equilibrium Model
The radiative constraints on the partitioning of the surface energy budget and, hence, on the strength of the hydrological cycle are analyzed in an idealized one-dimensional radiative–convective equilibrium model formulated in terms of the energy budgets at the top of the atmosphere, the subcloud layer, and the free atmosphere, which enables it to predict both surface relative humidity and the ...
متن کاملSensitivity 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 ...
