Clausius–Clapeyron Scaling of Peak CAPE in Continental Convective Storm Environments

A thermodynamic constraint on convective available potential energy (CAPE) in continental environments is established using an idealized one-dimensional model. This theoretical model simplifies the synoptic-scale preconditioning framework for continental severe convection by considering a dry adiaba...
