The Mesoscale Organization of Deep Convection
1997The organization of systems at all scales has long been an observed feature in meteorology. Coherent structures can be found from eddies in the planetary boundary layer up to tropical cyclones and mid-latitude depressions. The problem of organization is thus of a fundamental nature. An understanding of the organization of deep convection is relevant to

Convective Storm Initiation and Organization
2007The conditions necessary for the development of deep moist convection are discussed. This material is followed by an overview of the ways in which convective storms may be organized, with emphasis on the environmental characteristics favoring the various organizational modes.

The development of organized convection in a simplified squall-line model
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1992AbstractSquall lines stand out from ordinary cumulonimbus convection because of a special structure that dramatically extends their duration, precipitation output and area of influence. Time‐dependent models have identified surface outflow boundaries and low‐level environmental wind shear as the crucial elements in squall‐line formation and/or ...

The mesoscale organization of shallow convection:
2018Using ten years of MODIS observations, patterns of mesoscale organization in trade-wind clouds are assessed and evaluated. By initially examining a subset of observations, four forms of organization are identified: Sugar, wherein clouds appear like fine-grained and unorganized sprinklings of powdered sugar over a background of the dark-ocean; Gravel ...

Organization of deep convection into squall lines
The organization of deep convection into squall lines is not represented in global climate models, despite being among the biggest storms on Earth and having a huge impact on precipitation and extremes in tropical regions such as the Sahel or the Amazon [1, 2].Malek Segueni +2 more

Atmospheric Electrical Detection of Organized Convection
Science, 1975Relatively simple atmospheric electrical instrumentation carried on a small aircraft constitutes a flexible and sensitive system for detecting organized convection. Data can be obtained close to the sea surface, and low-velocity flight enhances the spatial resolution.

Idealized numerical study of convective organization
2007Two distinct non-hydrostatic models, a 2D version of MOLOCH and the 3D ARPS, were used to perform idealized experiments on the development and structural organization of convection in environments which either have a high degree of imposed conditional innstability or are near a condition of radiative-convective equilibrium determined by a balancing of ...
