One mode of organization found is “self-aggregation,” in which moist convection spontaneously organizes into one or several isolated clusters despite spatially homogeneous boundary conditions and forcing. Self-aggregation is driven by interactions between clouds, moisture, radiation, surface fluxes, and circulation, and occurs in a wide variety of idealized simulations of radiative–convective equilibrium. Here we provide a review of convective self-aggregation in numerical simulations, including its character, causes, and effects. We describe the evolution of self-aggregation including its time and length scales and the physical mechanisms leading to its triggering and maintenance, and we also discuss possible links to climate and climate change."}],"issue":"6","article_type":"original","quality_controlled":"1","page":"1173-1197","publication":"Surveys in Geophysics","citation":{"mla":"Wing, Allison A., et al. “Convective Self-Aggregation in Numerical Simulations: A Review.” Surveys in Geophysics, vol. 38, no. 6, Springer Nature, 2017, pp. 1173–97, doi:10.1007/s10712-017-9408-4.","short":"A.A.
