Abstract: A linear combination of specific liquid water content and temperature excess over the environmental value is found, which for an entrained, nonprecipitating parcel has the property of being approximately independent of ...

Abstract: From the hypothesis that a quasi-steady convective storm adjusts its internal flow to the ambient wind field, the velocity of the storm motion can be calculated by means of the Bernoulli equation. This velocity may be ...

Abstract: The paper deals with certain aspects of energetics and dynamics of quasi-steady convective storms in shear. The role of perturbation pressure forces in such storms is discussed and relations between ambient wind shear, ...
