Source air feeding convection within a nocturnal mesoscale convective system during the evolution from surface-based to elevated convection
Although nocturnal convection is frequently observed, the mechanisms that allow nocturnal mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) to persist are still not well understood. On 9 August 2014 at approximately 2000 UTC, a regime of upslope flow owing to a weak shortwave impulse in the lee of the Rocky …

Physics of diurnal warm layers : turbulence, internal waves, and lateral mixing
… distance than the water below. Coupled with nocturnal convection that mixes the DWL with the unstratified layer at night, this cycle is a mechanism for submesoscale (1-10 km) lateral diffusion across the upper ocean. Estimates of a horizontal diffusion coefficient are similar in magnitude to …

An Investigation of the Role of Land-Atmosphere Interactions on Nocturnal Convective Activity in the Southern Great Plains
… interactions can have an impact on the nocturnal convection over the Southern Great Plains (SGP) through numerical simulations of an intense nocturnal mesoscale convective system (MCS) on 19-20 June 2007 with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF V3.3) model. High-resolution nested …

High resolution numerical simulation of a nocturnal mesoscale convective system: Comparison with pecan observations
… of the United States. The PECAN (Plains Elevated Convection at Night) project was designed to improve our understanding of how these storms can develop and maintain themselves in the absence of traditional sources of CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy). This thesis focuses on the 20 June …
