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…
Atmospheric Circulation and Thermal Phase-Curve Offset of Tidally and Non-Tidally Locked Terrestrial Exoplanets
James Penn, Geoffrey K Vallis
Using an idealised general circulation model, we investigate the atmospheric circulation of Earth-like terrestrial planets in a variety of orbital configurations. We relax the comm…
Zonal-mean atmospheric dynamics of slowly-rotating terrestrial planets
G. J. Colyer, G. K. Vallis
The zonal-mean atmospheric flow of an idealized terrestrial planet is analyzed using both numerical simulations and zonally symmetric theories, focusing largely on the limit of low…
A Stochastic Lagrangian Basis for a Probabilistic Parameterization of Moisture Condensation in Eulerian Models
Yue-Kin Tsang, Geoffrey K. Vallis
In this paper we describe the construction of an efficient probabilistic parameterization that could be used in a coarse-resolution numerical model in which the variation of moistu…
