Aerosol invigoration of atmospheric convection through increases in humidity
Tristan H. Abbott, Timothy W. Cronin
Cloud-aerosol interactions remain a major obstacle to understanding climate and severe weather. Observations suggest that aerosols enhance tropical thunderstorm activity; past rese…

Convective dynamics and the response of precipitation extremes to warming in radiative-convective equilibrium
Tristan H. Abbott, Timothy W. Cronin, Tom Beucler
Tropical precipitation extremes are expected to strengthen with warming, but quantitative estimates remain uncertain because of a poor understanding of changes in convective dynami…

Comparing Convective Self-Aggregation in Idealized Models to Observed Moist Static Energy Variability near the Equator
Tom Beucler, Tristan Abbott, Timothy Cronin +1
Idealized convection-permitting simulations of radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) have become a popular tool for understanding the physical processes leading to horizontal vari…
