The Coupled Effect of Mid-Tropospheric Moisture and Aerosol Abundance on Deep Convective Cloud Dynamics and Microphysics
The humidity of the mid troposphere has a significant effect on the development of deep convection. Dry layers (dry intrusions) can inhibit deep convection through the effect of a thermal inversion resulting from radiation and due to the reduction in buoyancy resulting from entrainment. Recent obser...
