A growing body of evidence suggests that shallow circulations play a key role in organising trade-wind clouds at the mesoscales. In turn, many of these mesoscale circulations appear to emerge directly from the shallow convection itself. We infer a very simple model for explaining this feedback from Large-Eddy Simulations of a classical numerical experiment with minimal physics (BOMEX), which...

54. Natural selection by buoyancy and the ecology of pattern in convection

Brian Mapes (University of Miami)

Talk

A conceptually guided literature review will be offered, in an attempt to frame the issue of pattern formation in evolutionary terms. Gravity is omniscient about density variations, and rewards them with a conversion from potential to kinetic energy. Some of that kinetic energy can induce further density patterning, with a pattern and scale dependent efficiency, by shaping latent heat release...
