Multiple equilibria in a single-column model of the tropical atmosphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] A single-column model run under the weak temperature gradient approximation, a parameterization of large-scale dynamics appropriate for the tropical atmosphere, is shown to have multiple stable equilibria. Under conditions permitting persistent deep convection, the model has a statistically steady state in which such convection occurs, as well as an extremely dry state in which convection does not occur. Which state is reached depends on the initial moisture profile. Citation: Sobel, A. H., G. Bellon, and J.

متن کاملAdministrative rationing and multiple equilibria
In this paper, we introduce non-interest profit/loss sharing (PLS) banks into a three-period overlapping generations model. Two types, (low- and high quality) investments are assumed and capital accumulation and level of output in the steady state is considered. Then, administrative rationing is introduced to the model. It is shown that the level of capital accumulation and output in equilibriu...
متن کاملInvestigating Cloud Radiative Forcing in the Tropical West Pacific Using a Single-Column Model
The Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) is an important region for world climate (Webster and Lucas 1992) and was the subject of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere-Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA-COARE) in 1992/3. This experiment included an intensive observational period (IOP) from November 1992 through March 1993, which provided observations suitable for creating datasets that...
متن کاملAtmospheric radiative equilibria in a simple column model
An analytic radiative-equilibrium model is formulated where both shortand longwave radiation are treated as two-stream (downand upward) fluxes. An equilibrium state is defined in the model by the vertical temperature profile. The sensitivity of any such state to the model atmosphere’s optical properties is formulated analytically. As an example, this general formulation is applied to a single-c...
متن کاملA simple radiative-convective model with a hydrological cycle and interactive clouds
We have developed a simple, analytically tractable radiativexonvective model of the tropical climate system that includes an explicit moisture budget, a simple convection parametrization, a simple but physically based radiation parametrization, and interactive clouds. The underlying surface is assumed to be ocean. The model includes prognostic equations for the sea surface temperature and the v...
