The Trouble with Water: Condensation, Circulation and Climate
Geoffrey K. Vallis
This article discussesl a few of the problems that arise in geophysical fluid dynamics and climate that are associated with the presence of moisture in the air, its condensation an…
Convective Organization and Eastward Propagating Equatorial Disturbances in a Simple Excitable System
Geoffrey K Vallis, James Penn
We describe and illustrate a mechanism whereby convective aggregation and eastward propagating equatorial disturbances, similar in some respects to the Madden--Julian oscillation,…
Meridional Structure and Future Changes of Tropopause Height and Temperature
Shineng Hu, Geoffrey K. Vallis
We use a simple, semi-analytic, column model to better understand the meridional structure of the tropopause height and the future changes in its height and temperature associated…
The Effects of Gravity on the Climate and Circulation of a Terrestrial Planet
Stephen I. Thomson, Geoffrey K. Vallis
The climate and circulation of a terrestrial planet are governed by, among other things, the distance to its host star, its size, rotation rate, obliquity, atmospheric composition…
A Simple System for Moist Convection: the Rainy-Benard Model
Geoffrey K. Vallis, Douglas J. Parker, Steven M. Tobias
Raylaigh-Benard convection is one of the most well-studied models in fluid mechanics. Atmospheric convection, one of the most important components of the climate system, is by comp…
