  bibo_abstract:
  - Idealized simulations of tropical moist convection have revealed that clouds can
    spontaneously clump together in a process called self-aggregation. This results
    in a state where a moist cloudy region with intense deep convection is surrounded
    by extremely dry subsiding air devoid of deep convection. Because of the idealized
    settings of the simulations where it was discovered, the relevance of self-aggregation
    to the real world is still debated. Here, we show that self-aggregation feedbacks
    play a leading-order role in the spontaneous genesis of tropical cyclones in cloud-resolving
    simulations. Those feedbacks accelerate the cyclogenesis process by a factor of
    2, and the feedbacks contributing to the cyclone formation show qualitative and
    quantitative agreement with the self-aggregation process. Once the cyclone is
    formed, wind-induced surface heat exchange (WISHE) effects dominate, although
    we find that self-aggregation feedbacks have a small but nonnegligible contribution
    to the maintenance of the mature cyclone. Our results suggest that self-aggregation,
    and the framework developed for its study, can help shed more light into the physical
    processes leading to cyclogenesis and cyclone intensification. In particular,
    our results point out the importance of the longwave radiative cooling outside
    the cyclone.@eng
