Probing the Dynamics of Shallow Cumulus Convection

Our limited knowledge of convection and its poor representation in climate models is one of the factors that most hamper our ability to understand and predict the climate system. In this thesis, the dynamics of shallow cumulus convection are probed using Large-eddy simulations (LES) and simple model...
