Convection Self‐Aggregation in CNRM‐CM6‐1: Equilibrium and Transition Sensitivity to Surface Temperature

Abstract

The sensitivity to surface temperature of convective self-aggregation under radiativeconvective equilibrium is documented in CNRM-CM6-1• Increase of self-aggregation with surface temperature is associated to an efficient shallow circulation between dry and moist regions• A second slower transition towards self-aggregation at high surface temperature is primarily driven by radiative processes in dry regions
