Scope and Contents

Contents

Cumulus clouds are frequently observed as comprising multiple successive thermals, yet numerical simulations of entrainment have not investigated this level of detail. Here, an idealized simulated cumulus congestus consisting of three successive thermals is used to analyze and understand their role in maintaining the high liquid water content in th...
