Thermal chains and entrainment in cumulus updrafts. Part I: Theoretical description
Recent studies have shown that cumulus updrafts often consist of a succession of discrete
rising thermals with spherical vortex-like circulations. In this paper, a theory is developed for …

[HTML][HTML] The influence of shear on deep convection initiation. Part I: Theory
This article introduces a novel hypothesis for the role of vertical wind shear (“shear”) in deep
convection initiation (DCI). In this hypothesis, initial moist updrafts that exceed a width and …

How does LCL height influence deep convective updraft width?
Previous studies have hypothesized that the width of deep convection should positively
scale with lifting condensation level (LCL) height. To evaluate this hypothesis, we analyzed …

How does vertical wind shear influence entrainment in squall lines?
The influence of vertical wind shear on updraft entrainment in squall lines is not well
understood. To address this knowledge gap, a suite of high-resolution idealized numerical …
