Description:

An uncertain representation of convective clouds has emerged as one of the key barriers to our understanding of climate sensitivity. The large gap in resolved spatial scales between General Circulation Models (GCMs) and high resolution models has made a systematic study of convective clouds across model conﬁgurations difﬁcult. It is shown here that the simulated atmosphere of a GCM in Radiative Convective Equilibrium (RCE) is sufﬁciently similar across a range of domain sizes to justify the use of RCE tostudy both a GCM and a high resolution model on the same domain with the goal of improved constraints on the parameterized clouds. Simulations of RCE with parameterized convection have been analyzed on domains with areas spanning more than two orders of magnitude (0 :802204310
