A Transilient Matrix for Moist Convection

A method is introduced for diagnosing a transilient matrix for moist convection. This transilient matrix quantifies the nonlocal transport of air by convective eddies: for every height z, it gives the distribution of starting heights z9 for the eddies that arrive at z. In a cloud-resolving simulation of deep convection, the transilient matrix shows that two-thirds of the subcloud air convecting...

Atmospheric Moist Convection

■ Abstract Various forms of atmospheric moist convection are reviewed through a consideration of three prevalent regimes: stratocumulus; trade-wind; and deep, precipitating, maritime convection. These regimes are chosen because they are structural components of the general circulation of the atmosphere and because they highlight distinguishing features of this polymorphous phenomenon. In partic...

A tubulent diffusive model for atmospheric moist convection

In the ocean, convection and plume formation occur when a fluid parcel at the ocean’s surface becomes heavier than its environment. Switching to convection in a dry atmosphere involves two main variations: a sweap over of the vertical direction, with light plumes propagating up from the ground, and a more subtle definition of what it means for an air parcel to be light. In comparing the buoyanc...

A Rigorous Treatment of Moist Convection in a Single Column

We study a single column model of moist convection in the atmosphere. We state the conditions for it to represent a stable steady state. We then evolve the column by subjecting it to an upward displacement which can release instability, leading to a time dependent sequence of stable steady states. We propose a definition of measure valued solution to describe the time dependence and prove its e...

Multiscale eddy simulation for moist atmospheric convection: Preliminary investigation

A multiscale computational framework is designed for simulating atmospheric convection and clouds. In this multiscale framework, large eddy simulation (LES) is used to model the coarse scales of 100 m and larger, and a stochastic, one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model is used to represent the fine scales of 100 m and smaller. Coupled and evolving together, these two components provide a multis...
