“…In numerical simulations under the RCE framework, moist convection was organized into an aggregated cloud system even under constant sea surface conditions (Held et al, 1993; Tompkins & Craig, 1998a). This organization process is called convective self‐aggregation (CSA) and has been intensively studied using a wide variety of models in recent years (Arnold & Randall, 2015; Bretherton et al, 2005, hereafter BBK05; Emanuel et al, 2014; Haerter, 2019; Hohenegger & Stevens, 2016; Khairoutdinov & Emanuel, 2013; Satoh & Matsuda, 2009; Tompkins, 2001b; Windmiller & Craig, 2019; Yanase & Takemi, 2018). It has recently been pointed out that CSA alters even mean fields (BBK05; Bony et al, 2015, 2016; Cronin & Wing, 2017; Drotos et al, 2020; Holloway et al, 2017; Mauritsen & Stevens, 2015; Noda et al, 2019; Tobin et al, 2012; Wing, 2019).…”
