“…In the largest island simulations, when there is very little convection outside of the island area, this leads to a maximum cluster size of
, approximately the diameter of the 50° island. Matsugishi and Satoh (
2022) investigated the natural length scale of convective aggregation in global models, and at an SST of 305K they estimated this to be approximately 2,000 km. Yang (
2018b) also found that a typical length‐scale of self‐aggregation is
