Numerical weather prediction models operate on grid spacings of a few kilometers, where
deep convection begins to become resolvable. Around this scale, the emergence of …

This article introduces a novel hypothesis for the role of vertical wind shear (“shear”) in deep
convection initiation (DCI). In this hypothesis, initial moist updrafts that exceed a width and …

This article introduces an analytic formula for entraining convective available potential
energy (ECAPE) with an entrainment rate that is determined directly from an environmental …

The development and intensification of low-level mesocyclones in supercell thunderstorms
have often been attributed, at least in part, to augmented streamwise vorticity generated …

This study evaluates a hypothesis for the role of vertical wind shear in deep convection
initiation (DCI) that was introduced in Part I by examining behavior of a series of numerical …

Diurnal mountain winds precondition the environment for deep moist convection through
horizontal and vertical transport of heat and moisture. They also play a key role in …

Motivated by recent discussions concerning differences of convective dynamics in polluted
and pristine environments, the so-called convective invigoration in particular, this paper …

Abstract During the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Tracking Aerosol
Convection Interactions Experiment (TRACER) IOP spanning June–September 2022, two …

Various coalescence methods for Lagrangian microphysics schemes are tested in box and
large-eddy simulation (LES) models, including the stochastic all-or-nothing (AON) …

This research seeks to understand simulated supercell precipitation characteristics across
the conterminous United States (CONUS) using high-resolution, convection-permitting …
