Abstract: The cumulus model presented by Lindzen et al. for calculating one-dimensional radiative convective equilibria is examined. When only the balance of moist static energy is considered, the value of the convective mass flux ...

Abstract: A numerical experiment with an atmospheric general model (GCM) indicate that moist convection in the equatorial region is spontaneously organized into a form of ?supercluster? which is an area of precipitation with a spatial ...

Abstract: A simple one-dimensional radiative?convective equilibrium model is used to investigate the relationship between the surface temperature and the outgoing infrared radiation at the top of the atmosphere. The model atmosphere ...

Abstract: A series of numerical experiments on two-dimensional decaying turbulence is performed for a barotropic fluid on a rotating sphere. Numerical calculations have confirmed two important asymptotic features: emergence of the ...

Abstract: A numerical study on the runaway greenhouse state is performed by using a general circulation model (GCM) with simplified hydrologic and radiative processes. Except for the inclusion of three-dimensional atmospheric motion, ...

Abstract: Jet formation in decaying two-dimensional turbulence on a rotating sphere is reviewed from the viewpoint of Rossby waves. A series of calculations are performed to confirm the behavior of zonal mean flow generation on the ...

Abstract: loud convection of a CO2 atmosphere where the major constituent condenses is numerically investigated under a setup idealizing a possible warm atmosphere of early Mars, utilizing a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model ...
