Subject: COAPS didactics - Dr. Caroline Muller

Hello all,

We are starting a new seminar series this year at COAPS! The goals of these didactic sessions are to get an overview on a topic, learn something new and start a discussion, in the hopes that these would lead to novel ideas and collaborations.

For the month of January, Dr. Caroline Muller (Assistant Professor, Institute of Science and Technology Austria; CNRS researcher) will be speaking about Spontaneous Aggregation of Convective Storms.


Time: Jan 24, 2023 10:00 AM EST

Join from anywhere on Zoom: https://fsu.zoom.us/j/9206782375<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fsu.zoom.us/j/9206782375__;!!PhOWcWs!xDSz5b-B5uF6c8cd5PhpQSnbc-rzeq428TpTZNB2nNcZFpdjTm4LFNQLw4sM0MAmeKlqj_eqqD8JPQ$>
Meeting ID: 920 678 2375

Spontaneous Aggregation of Convective Storms
Dr. Caroline Muller

Idealized simulations of the tropical atmosphere have predicted that clouds can spontaneously clump together in space, despite perfectly homogeneous settings. This phenomenon has been called self-aggregation, and it results in a state where a moist cloudy region with intense deep convective storms is surrounded by extremely dry subsiding air devoid of deep clouds. Here we review the main findings from theoretical work and idealized models of this phenomenon, highlighting the physical processes believed to play a key role in convective self-aggregation. We also review the growing literature on the importance and implications of this phenomenon for the tropical atmosphere, notably, for the hydrological cycle and for precipitation extremes, in our current and in a warming climate.
