Detrainment in deep convection

This study explores the mechanisms that determine detrainment in deep cumulus convection. A set of 90 high‐resolution Large Eddy Simulations is used to systematically explore the sensitivity of continental deep convection to the relative humidity and stability of the free troposphere. It appears tha...
