Evaporative Controls on Convective Adjustment: A Satellite-Based Assessment of Convective Available Energy (CAPE) During Surface Drydowns
Changes in surface properties are known to influence weather and climate through interactions between the land and atmosphere. In convective atmospheres, convective available potential energy (CAPE) drives convective adjustment and can lead to precipitation. We study the evolution of CAPE during dry...
