Modulation of the Bifurcation in Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium by Gray‐Zone Cloud and Turbulence Parameterizations

Abstract This study investigates the mechanisms by which small‐scale turbulence and cloud physics determine the organization of large‐scale convection in radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE), an idealization of the tropical atmosphere. Under uniform forcings similar to typical tropical conditions,...
