The Weak Temperature Gradient Approximation and Balanced Tropical Moisture Waves (2001, background): “…have neglected horizontal temperature variations as a simplifying assumption in idealized models of the tropical climate (e.g., Neelin and Held 1987; Pierrehumbert 1995; Miller 1997; Zeng 1998; Zeng and Neelin 1999; Raymond 2000; Clement and Seager 1999; Sobel and Bretherton 2000, hereafter SB00).”
An Energy-Balance Analysis of Deep Convective Self-Aggregation above Uniform SST (2005, methodology): “Following Raymond (2000) and Bretherton et al. (2004), we normalize WVP into a column relative humidity (CRH), defined as the ratio of WVP to the saturation water vapor path of the atmospheric column (i.e., the water vapor path were the entire air column moistened to 100% relative humidity with…”
An Idealized Semi-Empirical Framework for Modeling the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2012, background): “The relationship between precipitation and column water vapor is the subject of both theoretical and observational work (Raymond 2000; Bretherton et al. 2004; Peters and Neelin 2006; Neelin et al. 2009; Muller et al. 2009), and it has been suggested that the simulation of the MJO in global models is”
Surface Fluxes and Tropical Intraseasonal Variability: a Reassessment (2008, background): “…budget of moist static energy requires that the large-scale vertical motion, or net vertical mass flux, is proportional to the net convergence of the vertical flux of moist static energy into the tropospheric column (e.g., Neelin and Held 1987; Raymond 2000; Neelin 1997; Neelin 2007; Sobel 2007).”
A New Model of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2001, methodology): “Table 1 gives the values of adjustable constants used in the model, as defined by Raymond (2000a).”
The Role of Convective Moistening in the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2009, background): “They find a very strong nonlinear but direct relationship between tropical rainfall and column relative humidity [which is closely and inversely related to the mean saturation deficit discussed by Raymond (2000)].”
Modelling tropical atmospheric convection in the context of the weak temperature gradient approximation (2005, result): “The precipitation produced by the model mimics the results of a very simple model of tropical precipitation introduced by Raymond (2000), in that the mean rainfall rate predicted by the cumulus ensemble model is, to a good approximation, a function only of the mean column precipitable water.”
Role of continental recycling in intraseasonal variations of continental moisture as deduced from model simulations and water vapor isotopic measurements (2013, background): “More specifically, given the close relationship between precipitation and precipitable water (W) in the tropics [Raymond, 2000; Bretherton et al., 2004], we will focus on evaluating the role of continental recycling on the intraseasonal variability of W in the tropics.”
Evolution of convection during tropical cyclogenesis (2007, methodology): “The differences from Raymond and Zeng [2005] are as follows: (1) The simplified radiation scheme of Raymond [2001] is used in place of fixed radiative cooling.”
Organization of Tropical Convection in Low Vertical Wind Shears: The Role of Water Vapor (2001, background): “…by Sherwood (1999) to increase convergence into cloudy areas in a simple model, which also appears to be observed over the Pacific (Bergman and Hendon 2000), and Raymond (2000a) has suggested that radiative–convective interactions could have a large influence on the Hadley and Walker circulations.”
The Transition to Strong Convection (2009, background): “The SST potentially could be a proxy for boundary layer moist static energy (Brown and Bretherton 1997; Raymond 2000), which we do not observe directly here (using w and vertically integrated temperature measures) but which might well affect the critical value for the onset of convection.”

MJO-like Coherent Structures: Sensitivity Simulations Using the Cloud-Resolving Convection Parameterization (CRCP) (2003, background): “Free-tropospheric moisture is conjectured to have a strong impact on large-scale organization of moist convection (e.g., Raymond 2000b; Tompkins 2001a,b).”
A Moisture-Stratiform Instability for Convectively Coupled Waves (2008, background): “Moisture deficit, or saturation deficit, has been used as a control on convection before (Raymond, 2000), except in terms of precipitation instead of the height of convection.”
