Abstract: AbstractThe role of surface friction on shallow nonprecipitating convection is investigated using a series of large-eddy simulations with varying surface friction velocity and with a cloud identification algorithm. As ...

Abstract: n summertime fair-weather days, thermally driven wind systems play an important role in determining the initiation of convection and the occurrence of localized precipitation episodes over mountainous terrain. This study ...

Abstract: he rapid transition from shallow to deep convection is investigated using large-eddy simulations. The role of cold pools, which occur due to the evaporation of rainfall, is explored using a series of experiments in which ...

Abstract: ixing processes in deep precipitating cumulus clouds are investigated by tracking Lagrangian particles in a large-eddy simulation. The trajectories of particles are reconstructed and the thermodynamic properties of cloud ...
