The Vertical Momentum Budget of Shallow Cumulus Convection: Insights From a Lagrangian Perspective

Abstract A Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model is embedded into large eddy simulations to diagnose the responses of shallow cumulus convection to a small‐amplitude large‐scale temperature perturbation. The Lagrangian framework allows for a decomposition of the vertical momentum budget and diagnosis...
