A three‐dimensional primitive equation model of cumulonimbus convection
Tóm tắt
The model is described and the results of three integrations presented. Its main novel features are the inclusion of non‐hydrostatic terms in a pressure co‐ordinate system, and the treatment of flow through the lateral boundaries. The results of the integrations, one with an ambient vertical wind shear and two without, indicate that the cloud dynamics is quite sensitive to assumptions made regarding the cloud microphysics, particularly at the stage when the downdraught is produced.
