Role of Wind Shear in the Decay of Convective Boundary Layers

The role of wind shear in the decay of the convective boundary layer (CBL) is systematically investigated using a series of large-eddy simulations. Nine CBLs with weak, intermediate, and strong wind shear are simulated, and their decays after stopping surface heat flux are investigated. After the su...
