Is Shallow Convection Sensitive to Environmental Heterogeneities?

Abstract The key assumption underlying convection parameterizations is that rising plumes develop in a horizontally homogeneous environment. With this in mind, we investigate the impact of environmental cloud layer heterogeneities on shallow convection using large‐eddy simulation that applies a driv...
