Take a look at Trenberth and Smith The basic idea is that increased moist convection lifts a lot of warm water vapor in the tropics (T&S) up into the troposphere at levels where the MSU are sensitive to it (Eli's ansatz).

Simulations of deep moist convection need to be run at grid resolutions finer than 2 kilometers to accurately predict the effects of climate change.

IMO our understanding of the dynamics of moist convection and its consequences is even less than that of the «ice - locker» effect.

Through horizontal averaging, variations of water vapor and temperature that are related to the horizontal transport by the large - scale circulation will be largely removed, and thus the water vapor and temperature relationship obtained is more indicative of the property of moist convection, and is thus more relevant to the issue of water vapor feedback in global warming.

In most cases, we have a good understanding of wave dynamics when the atmosphere is dry and there's no condensation or evaporation, but we lack a solid understanding of how things change when moist convection gets involved (i.e. clouds).

Paradoxically, although dry atmospheres are known to hamper moist convection, drying the soil to its permanent wilting point generates circulations that are strong enough to overcome this inhibition.

«Perhaps you mean to say that moist convection enforces a shallower lapse rate than dry convection, because otherwise moist parcels become buoyant.»

If it appears in meteorologists» world it is because moist convection (almost always in the form of thunderstorms) occurred.

My offer of the clue you may be missing is this: if you see the lapse rate moving toward the moist adiabat, it is because there is moist convection, which typically means rain.

However, over land, where there is not very much moist convection, which is not dominated by the tropics and where one expects surface trends to be greater than for the oceans, there was no amplification at all!

Because precipitation removes water, sinking air is often dry, and lapse rates up to dry adiabatic can be sustained even though they would be unstable to moist convection; heat and humidity build up until conditions favor convection, until something triggers it, and then it can sustain itself until the energy is drained.

Over the oceans where most tropical moist convection occurs, the amplification in the model is greater — about a factor of 1.4.

To be sure, this isn't a demonstration that the tropical trends in the model simulations or the data are perfectly matched — there remain multiple issues with moist convection parameterisations, the Madden - Julian oscillation, ENSO, the «double ITCZ» problem, biases, drifts etc..
