Increases in moist-convective updraught velocities with warming in radiative-convective equilibrium

The scaling of updraught velocities over a wide range of surface temperatures is investigated in simulations of radiative-convective equilibrium with a cloud-system resolving model. The updraught velocities increase with warming, with the largest fractional increases occurring in the upper troposphe...
