A Dimensionless Parameter for Predicting Convective Self‐Aggregation Onset in a Stochastic Reaction‐Diffusion Model of Tropical Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium

Abstract We introduce a minimal stochastic lattice model for the column relative humidity (R) in the tropics, which incorporates convective moistening, horizontal transport and subsidence drying. The probability of convection occurring in a location increases with R, based on Tropical Rainfall Measu...
