Numerical Assessment of Advective and Diffusive Dynamics of Interacting and Isolated Prototypical Convectively Initiated Circulations
Matthew R. Igel, Joseph A. Biello, Adele L. Igel
The bulk circulation associated with convective clouds includes not only a region of updraft and cloudy air but also a region of compensating descent and cloud-free air and horizon…

Idealized Cumulus Cloud-Scale Motions and the Dynamics of Isolated and Coupled Flows
Dario P. Falcone, Matthew R. Igel, Joseph A. Biello
Developing an understandable theory for the dynamic evolution of the morphology of clouds remains intractable. To break this deadlock, we introduce a new conceptual model for cloud…
