Simulations of interacting regions of tropical deep convection coupled by a weak-temperature gradient parameterization of the large-scale circulation

In the Tropics, the large-scale circulation acts to redistribute density anomalies towards uniform density on isobaric surfaces. This is the weak-temperature gradient (WTG) approximation. In this thesis, a cloud-resolving model (CRM) is used to simulate the interactions between convection and the la...
