  - Recently, Biagioli and Tompkins (2023, https://doi.org/10.1029/2022ms003231) used
    a simple stochastic model to derive a dimensionless parameter to predict convective
    self aggregation (SA) development, which was based on the derivation of the maximum
    free convective distance ($d_{clr}$) expected in the pre-aggregated, random state.
    Our goal is to test and further investigate this hypothesis, namely that $d_{clr}$
    can predict SA occurrence, using an ensemble of twenty-four distinct combinations
    of horizontal mixing, planetary boundary layer (PBL), and microphysical parameterizations.
    We conclude that the key impact of parameterization schemes on SA is through their
    control of the number of convective cores and their relative spacing, $d_{clr}$,
    which itself is impacted by cold-pool (CP) properties and mean updraft core size.
    SA is more likely when the convective core count is small, while CPs modify convective
    spacing via suppression in their interiors and triggering by gust-front convergence
    and collisions. Each parameterization scheme emphasizes a different mechanism.
    Subgrid-scale horizontal turbulent mixing mainly affects SA through the determination
    of convective core size and thus spacing. The sensitivity to the microphysics
    is mainly through rain evaporation and the subsequent impact on CPs, while perturbations
    to the ice cloud microphysics have a limited effect. Non-local PBL mixing schemes
    promote SA primarily by increasing convective inhibition through inversion entrainment
    and altering low cloud amounts, leading to fewer convective cores and larger $d_{clr}$.
