Clouds, Circulation, and Climate Sensitivity in a Radiative-Convective Equilibrium Channel Model

Tropical cloud and circulation changes are large sources of uncertainty in future climate change. This problem owes partly to the scale separation between large-scale tropical dynamics (~104km) and convective dynamics (~7 km), which generally requires parameterizing convection in models that resolve...
