Inexorable

Comparison Between Simulations and Observations,tial water vapor conditions and associated physical processes are discussed in this chapter based on Li et al. (2006)..Due to limitations in computational power, the cloud-resolving model simulations have been mainly carried out in the 2D (x–z) framework while the threedimensional (3D) simulations h

Convective, Moist, and Dynamic Vorticity Vectors,important dynamic concept, has been applied to the study of convective storms in recent decades (e.g., Lilly 1986; Droegemeier et al. 1993; Tan and Wu 1994) since it was introduced by Betchov (1961). However, PV and helicity cannot be applied to the analysis in the 2D framework..Convective (.), mois

Tropical Cloud Clusters,ed within them propagate in different directions and have different evolution and spatial distributions (e.g., Nakazawa 1988; Lau et al. 1991; Sui and Lau 1992). These hierarchical cloud structures and behaviors can be simulated with a 2D cloud-resolving model (e.g., Peng et al. 2001; Ping et al. 20

PV is conserved in a frictionless, adiabatic flow in a dry atmosphere. Later, moist PV was introduced by replacing potential temperature with the equivalent potential temperature. Moist PV is c
