Causal Directions Matter: How Environmental Factors Drive Convective Cloud Detrainment Heights

Abstract This study investigates how environmental factors influence the level of maximum detrainment (LMD) in deep convective clouds. Through a novel application of the Linear Non‐Gaussian Acyclic Model (LiNGAM), we discover causal structures between environmental variables and LMD, observed at six...
