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.","lang":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2022-01-24T12:42:36Z","oa_version":"None","type":"journal_article","page":"1173-1197","doi":"10.1007/s10712-017-9408-4","article_type":"original","_id":"9139","publication":"Surveys in Geophysics","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","issue":"6"}
