Sentences with phrase «of cumulonimbus»

In the tropics this creates the major cloud form of cumulonimbus (thunderstorms), massive towering structures with powerful internal winds carrying vast amounts of energy through the atmosphere.

Consider your radiative effect twisted through the tubes of cumulonimbus.

But not as annoying as the tedious, predictable blowhards who clearly feel their calling in life is to channel the spirit of cumulonimbus clouds, for yea, do they love to rain upon every parade.

Not exact matches

The upward trajectory of the air gives shape to the towering cumulonimbus clouds, and if the air is heavily laden with water vapor, it adds mass to the clouds, as well.

As the storm moves, a «blob» of cold air builds, particularly in the upper reaches of the towering cumulonimbus clouds that march along at the storm's front.

Vertical mixing in the atmosphere is dominated by energetic mixtures in cumulonimbus clouds of two basic provenances: local convective instability, or baroclinic instability with convective instability at the frontal boundary.

The typical enhancement of rainfall and updraft motion in deep cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds within heavy raining meso - scale disturbance areas acts to increase the return flow mass subsidence in the surrounding broader clear and partly cloudy regions (Figure 8).

The intertropical convergence zone is distinguished by a wide band of cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds that are created by dynamic atmospheric lifting due to convergence and convection.

The region of greatest solar heating at the surface in the humid tropics corresponds to areas of deep cumulonimbus convection.

Changes in ocean surface temperatures caused by El Niño significantly affect where cumulonimbus clouds form in the ITCZ and, therefore, the geographic structure of the Hadley cell.

This is a large - eddy simulation of a deep cumulonimbus (a tall rain cloud).

The observations showed that when the usual shallow cumulus clouds give way to the MJO's towering cumulonimbus storms, radiant heat trapped by clouds and moisture gradually warms a deeper column of the lower atmosphere while the tops of the storms radiate heat into space, cooling the upper troposphere.

* many common types of clouds (stratus, stratocumulus, cumulus, cumulonimbus, fog) have their base between 0 — 3000 m above the ground.

Jensen, E.J., and A.S. Ackerman, 2006: Homogeneous aerosol freezing in the tops of high - altitude tropical cumulonimbus clouds.

Finally, let me say that my hypothesis is that the earth has a natural thermoregulatory system, with one of the main control mechanisms being the timing of the onset of daily tropical cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds.

The warm water evaporates from the ocean surface, and the light, warm and humid air rises, leading to deep convection in the form of towering cumulonimbus clouds and heavy precipitation.

For example, those towering thunderstorm clouds (cumulonimbus) are very important mechanisms in transporting heat, but are too small for the large grid system of the models.
