Extended Data Fig. 5

Cloud water mixing ratio and precipitable water in the (a) SAM-S and (b) SAM-L simulations. (a) and (b) have identical boundary conditions and physics (see methods) and only differ in the domain size. The purple grid in b demonstrates the relative size of the SAM-S grid. In b the convection is aggregated, under the clump of convection precipitable water exceeds 90 mm. PE is higher in b than in a.
