Increase in Precipitation Efficiency With Surface Warming in Radiative‐Convective Equilibrium

The precipitation efficiency of convection (ε) plays an important role in simple models of the tropical atmosphere as well as in global climate models' projections of future climate changes, but remains poorly understood and poorly constrained. A particularly urgent question is how ε will chang...
