Abstract: his research develops simple diagnostic expressions for vertical acceleration dw/dt and vertical velocity w within updrafts that account for effective buoyancy and the dynamic pressure gradient force. Effective buoyancy ...

Abstract: his study details properties of non-Gaussian regimes and state-dependent ensemble spreads of trajectories in a reduced phase space of an idealized three-level quasigeostrophic (QG3) dynamical model. Methodologically, ...

Abstract: AbstractAn approximate analytic expression is derived for the ratio ? of the ascent rate of moist deep convective thermals and the maximum vertical velocity within them; ? is characterized as a function of two nondimensional ...

Abstract: his research investigates the dynamics of a simulated training line/adjoining stratiform (TL/AS) mesoscale convective system (MCS), with composite atmospheric fields used as initial and lateral boundary conditions for the ...

Abstract: his study details the development and use of an idealized modeling framework to simulate a quasi-stationary heavy-rain-producing mesoscale convective system (MCS). A 36-h composite progression of atmospheric fields computed ...

Abstract: his study examines the degree to which the downscale cascade of information from synoptic-scale motions constrains error growth in simulations of a particular type of heavy-rain-producing mesoscale convective system known ...

Abstract: his study investigates the influences of low-level atmospheric water vapor on the precipitation produced by simulated warm-season midlatitude mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). In a series of semi-idealized numerical ...

Abstract: n this research, a numerical simulation of an observed training line/adjoining stratiform (TL/AS)-type mesoscale convective system (MCS) was used to investigate processes leading to upwind propagation of convection and ...

Abstract: AbstractAlthough it is well established that vertical wind shear helps to organize and maintain convective systems, there is a longstanding colloquial notion that it inhibits the development of deep convection. To investigate ...
