Large-scale environmental variables and transition to deep convection in cloud resolving model simulations: A vector representation

Cloud resolving model simulations and vector analysis are used to develop a quantitative method of assessing regional variations in the relationships between various large-scale environmental variables and the transition to deep convection. Results of the CRM simulations from three tropical regions...
