A Steady‐State Model for the Relationship Between Humidity, Instability, and Precipitation in the Tropics
Abstract A simple steady‐state model for the thermodynamic structure of a convecting atmosphere under the influence of large‐scale dynamics is derived based on a bulk‐plume representation of convection. Given profiles of the large‐scale vertical velocity and convective mass flux, the model predicts...
