A Physically Based Definition of Convectively Generated Density Currents: Detection and Characterization in Convection‐Permitting Simulations
Abstract In this study, a conceptual model to define convective density currents is proposed. Based on theory, observations and modeling studies, we define convective density currents as 3D coherent structures with an anomalously cold core, an adjacent wind gust, and a vertical structure made of two...
