The Transition to Double‐Celled Circulations in Mock‐Walker Simulations

The Transition to Double‐Celled Circulations in Mock‐Walker Simulations Lutsko, Nicholas J; Cronin, Timothy W Mock‐Walker simulations have the potential to play a key role in a tropical model hierarchy, bridging small‐scale Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium simulations and global models of tropical circulations. We demonstrate that mock‐Walker simulations transition from single‐ to double‐celled overturning circulations as mean Sea Surface Temperature (SST) is increased, with the transition occur
