Organisation of potential vorticity on the mesoscale during deep moist convection
Potential vorticity (PV) and its conservation principle elegantly describe large-scale atmospheric dynamics. On the mesoscale, however, PV has received less attention. We describe the characteristics of PV on the convective weather scale (≈10 km) as simulated by the non-hydrostatic numerical weather...
