Radiative control on tropical convective boundary layer equilibrium
Abstract
How the near-balance between the radiative cooling and the surface fluxes in the tropics controls boundary layer, the height of cloud-base and the top of the convective boundary layer over the tropical oceans is discussed. The impact of boundary layer cloudiness and upper level moisture on the equilibrium solutions is explored.
