Understanding changes in the tropical circulation under global warming using a cloud-resolving model and a conceptual model

S Neogi, MS Singh - Journal of Climate, 2022‏ - journals.ametsoc.org
A cloud-resolving model (CRM) is used to investigate how a prototype tropical circulation
driven by a sea surface temperature (SST) contrast changes in a warmer climate. The CRM …
