Abstract: The preconvective environment on thunderstorm days in Switzerland north of the Alps has been investigated during a 5-yr period (1985?89). Thermodynamic and kinematic parameters calculated from the radiosounding in Payerne ...

Abstract: Convection strongly influences the distribution of atmospheric trace gases. General circulation models (GCMs) use convective mass fluxes calculated by parameterizations to transport gases, but the results are difficult to ...
