Sentences with phrase «convective updrafts»

This should give rise to stronger convective updrafts and more lightning.

Some convective updrafts can be more than 100kts vertically — with liquid water carried up to the tropopause where the air temperature is minus 40 deg or colder — and the water as it freezes releases latent heat — that is not in accordance with Stefan Boltzmann.

«Cloud - resolving model intercomparison of an MC3E squall line case: Part I - Convective updrafts.»

Although small - scale convective updraft speeds can not be directly simulated by GCMs, models can diagnose them from large - scale atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles.

Not exact matches

Clouds are negative feedback driven nucleation points — when daytime clouds start to form the albedo causes further cooling beneath them and heat - engine thunderstorms form from the updrafts of warm wet air lofted up to the stratosphere to efficiently cool and spread, creating a local convective cell that pulls heat out of the ocean (or the moist land or air) and moves it to a cold reservoir.

Another issue may be that the representation of the energy balance may be incomplete merely from the spatial variance of analyzed vertical velocity, as unresolved convective transport (cumulus convection) may be due to updrafts not resolved by reanalysis.
