Mechanisms initiating deep convection over complex terrain during COPS

Mechanisms initiating deep convection over complex terrain during COPS

Precipitating convection in a mountain region of moderate topography is investigated, with particular emphasis on its initiation in response to boundary-layer and mid- and upper-tropospheric forcing mechanisms. The data used in the study are from COPS (Convective and Orographically-induced Precipita...
