Cloud resolving modeling of tropical circulations driven by large-scale SST gradients

This paper considers interactions between the moist atmospheric convection and the large-scale flow driven by the large-scale gradient of sea surface temperature. A two-dimensional computational framework is used with the horizontal domain size of 4000 km in which both the convective dynamics and th...

Description
Summary:This paper considers interactions between the moist atmospheric convection and the large-scale flow driven by the large-scale gradient of sea surface temperature. A two-dimensional computational framework is used with the horizontal domain size of 4000 km in which both the convective dynamics and the large-scale flow are resolved.
