Divergent convective outflow in large-eddy simulations

Abstract. Upper-tropospheric outflow is analysed in cloud-resolving large-eddy simulations. Thereby, the role of convective organization, latent heating, and other factors upper-tropospheric divergent-outflow variability from deep convection diagnosed using a set more than 80 simulations because outflows are thought to be an important feedback (organized) large-scale atmospheric flows; perturbations those may sometimes propagate into larger-scale perturbations. divergence found controlled by net heating organization. At low precipitation rates isolated cells have stronger mass squall lines. The line weakest (relative heating) when purely 2D case infinite-length line. high discrepancy between various modes reduces. Hence, overall, magnitude divergent explained dimensionality outflow, which together create non-linear relation.
