Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2016-03Tropical high clouds have been shown to converge radiant energy within the atmosphere. We term this phenomenon the Atmospheric Cloud Radiative Effect (ACRE). The addition of energy unequally in space and time has profound effects on tropical convection. In this thesis, we show that the extra heating by clouds serves to enhance the divergence of energy transport out of the atmospheric column. Additionally, the water vapor lofted into the upper troposphere by convection behaves in a similar fashion to the clouds, heating the atmosphere and enhancing energy export. This atmospheric moisture radiative effect accounts for as much as a fifth of the total radiative heating owing to convection. ...
