Figure 2.

(left) Nonlinear least squares fit of the relationship between $〈q_L〉$ and P_L, as described by equation (4). The values of $〈q_L〉$ have been shifted such that the zeroth value corresponds to the value of $〈q_L〉$ that corresponds to the warm‐pool averaged value of P_L. (right) Scatterplot of warm‐pool averaged (60°E–180°E, 15°N/S) convective moisture adjustment time scale τ_c, obtained from equation 6 for each simulation. Darker shadings of red depict higher concentrations of CO₂, ranging from 0.5, 1, 2, 4 times preindustrial levels. The nonlinear least squares fit is shown as a dashed line.
