I have identified that you don't understand the key role for
convective cumulus clouds, and until you get a grip on that that any talk of lapse rates will make no sense.
Not exact matches
Here Becker et al. investigated the impact of
convective organization on entrainment — a process in which warm, buoyant parcels of air become saturated with moisture; form
cumulus clouds; and mix with cooler, drier parcels of air.
The G - 1 flight measurements will provide information on orographic
cumulus clouds and deep
convective systems.
Although the later CM5B model scores marginally less well on your KL divergence measure, it has improved representation of the
convective boundary layer and
cumulus clouds, of tropical SW CRF and of mid-level
cloud coverage.
In - depth analysis reveals that the model's shallow
cumulus convection scheme tends to significantly under - produce
clouds during the times when shallow
cumuli exist in the observations, while the deep
convective and stratiform
cloud schemes significantly over-produce low - level
clouds throughout the day.
[Technically speaking, it is caused by increased
convective activity whereby
cumulus clouds carry latent heat from the surface of the tropical ocean into the upper troposphere.
As these
cumulus convective clouds grow taller,
cloud water droplets collide and combine into raindrops and fall out of the
cloud or continue to rise until they freeze into ice crystals and form cirrus
clouds.
