Influence of entrainment on the thermal stratification in simulations of radiative-convective equilibrium

Influence of entrainment on the thermal stratification in simulations of radiative-convective equilibrium

Convective available potential energy (CAPE) is shown to increase rapidly with warming in simulations of radiative-convective equilibrium over a wide range of surface temperatures. The increase in CAPE implies a systematic deviation of the thermal stratification from moist adiabatic that is non-negl...
