Warm conveyor belts in present-day and future climate simulations – Part 2: Role of potential vorticity production for cyclone intensification

<p>Warm conveyor belts (WCBs) are strongly ascending, cloud- and precipitation-forming airstreams in extratropical cyclones. The intense cloud-diabatic processes produce low-level cyclonic potential vorticity (PV) along the ascending airstreams, which often contribute to the intensification of...
