Abstract The Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Model Intercomparison Project (RCEMIP) is
an intercomparison of multiple types of numerical models configured in radiative‐convective …

Convection influences climate and weather events over a wide range of spatial and
temporal scales. Therefore, accurate predictions of the time and location of convection and …

Cloud-aerosol interactions remain a major obstacle to understanding climate and severe
weather. Observations suggest that aerosols enhance tropical thunderstorm activity; past …

We present preliminary results from the field program Organization of Tropical East Pacific
Convection (OTREC), with measurements during August and September of 2019 using the …

The aggregation of tropical convection greatly influences the mean‐state of the atmosphere,
altering humidity distributions, total atmospheric radiative cooling, and cloud amounts …

There is no simple explanation for the spatial structure of near-surface relative humidity over
land. We present a diagnostic theory for zonally and temporally averaged near-surface …

Abstract The Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium Model Intercomparison Project (RCEMIP)
exhibits a large spread in the simulated climate across models, including in profiles of …

Amplification in extreme precipitation intensity and frequency can cause severe flooding and
impose significant social and economic consequences. Variations in extreme precipitation …

Abstract In summer 2022, Southwest China (SWC) suffered its worst drought since 1980,
with a rainfall deficit and an extremely high temperature anomaly. This had a severely …

The second law of thermodynamics implies a relationship between the net entropy export by
Earth and its internal irreversible entropy production. The application of this constraint for the …
