Convective Self-Aggregation in Numerical Simulations: A Review (2017, background): “Moisture feedbacks, which result from the interaction between convection and humidity, are known to organize convection (Tompkins 2001; Grabowski and Moncrieff 2004; Mapes and Neale 2011).”
Detailed Investigation of the Self-Aggregation of Convection in Cloud-Resolving Simulations (2012, background): “Important examples of organized convection include squall lines, mesoscale convective systems (Emanuel 1994; Holton 2004), and the Madden– Julian oscillation (Grabowski and Moncrieff 2004).”
Fifty Years of Research on the Madden‐Julian Oscillation: Recent Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives (2020, background): “The moisture mode framework gained further attention as studies like Grabowski and Moncrieff (2004) showed that simulating strong moisture‐convection feedbacks are central to simulating strong MJO activity.”
Observational Evidence for Relationships between the Degree of Aggregation of Deep Convection, Water Vapor, Surface Fluxes, and Radiation (2012, background): “6), for which convection–humidity feedback plays an important role (Grabowski and Moncrieff 2004; Bony and Emanuel 2005).”
Intraseasonal Variability in an Aquaplanet General Circulation Model (2010, methodology): “Grabowski and Moncrieff (2004) demonstrated that including convective rainfall re-evaporation increases moisture-convection feedbacks in climate models, and Bacmeister et al. (2006) present a detailed analysis of the sensitivity of a model using RAS to evaporation fraction.”
On the Role of Moist Processes in Tropical Intraseasonal Variability: Cloud–Radiation and Moisture–Convection Feedbacks (2005, background): “…moisture (water vapor, clouds) and on their potential role in the organization of tropical convection through radiative and convective feedbacks (Raymond 2001; Tompkins 2001; Fuchs and Raymond 2002; Myers and Waliser 2003; Sperber 2003; Grabowski 2003; Grabowski and Moncrieff 2004, hereafter GM04).”
The Role of Convective Moistening in the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2009, background): “Our study, and others (Tokioka et al. 1988; Wang and Schlesinger 1999; Raymond 2001; Grabowski and Moncrieff 2004), provide evidence that to simulate a realistic MJO, a model must be able to create high humidity through a large portion of a tropical atmospheric column.”
Organization of tropical convection in low vertical wind shears: Role of updraft entrainment (2017, methodology): “This is not supported by numerical experimentation [Tompkins, 2001a; Derbyshire et al., 2004; Grabowski and Moncrieff , 2004], with the strong caveat that these simulations used large grid sizes O(2km), which is discussed further below.”
Multiscale Convective Organization and the YOTC Virtual Global Field Campaign (2012, background): “…of organized convective momentum transport in the structure and evolution of the MJO and convectively coupled tropical waves (Moncrieff 1992, 2004; Grabowski and Moncrieff 2001, 2004; Biello et al. 2007; Majda and Stechmann 2009a; Khouider et al. 2011), the MJO as a neutrally stable moisture mode…”
Madden‐Julian Oscillation (2005, background): “In some models the water vapor feedback helps organize deep convection into large-scale ensembles moving slowly eastward [Grabowski and Moncrieff, 2005] and determines their propagation speed [Swinbank et al., 1988].”
Global‐scale convective aggregation: Implications for the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (2015, background): “…paradigm describes the MJO as a ‘‘moisture mode,’’ essentially a selfamplifying anomaly of water vapor and precipitation [Sobel et al., 2001; Grabowski and Moncrieff, 2004; Bony and Emanuel, 2005; Fuchs and Raymond, 2002; Raymond and Fuchs, 2009; Sugiyama, 2009; Sobel and Maloney, 2012].”
Advances in simulating atmospheric variability with the ECMWF model: From synoptic to decadal time‐scales (2008, background): “…it has been recognised that the environmental humidity is a modulating factor in convective activity and MJO-like tropical variability (e.g. Grabowski and Moncrieff 2004), but that many convection parameterisations including the IFS scheme do not exhibit sufficient 2 Technical Memorandum…”
