A Linear Response Framework for Radiative-Convective Instability

Radiative-convective equilibrium is a simple paradigm for the tropical climate, in which radiative cooling balances convective heating in the absence of lateral energy transport. Recent studies have shown that a large-scale circulation may spontaneously develop from radiative-convective equilibrium...
