Potential vorticity structure of embedded convection in a warm conveyor belt and its relevance for large-scale dynamics
<p>Warm conveyor belts (WCBs) are important airstreams in extratropical cyclones. They can influence large-scale flow evolution by modifying the potential vorticity (PV) distribution during their cross-isentropic ascent. Although WCBs are typically described as slantwise-ascending and stratifo...
