Comparing Convective Self‐Aggregation in Idealized Models to Observed Moist Static Energy Variability near the Equator

Idealized convection-permitting simulations of radiative-convective equilibrium have become a popular tool for understanding the physical processes leading to horizontal variability of tropical water vapor and rainfall. However, the applicability of idealized simulations to nature is still unclear g...
