High-resolution modelling of interactions between soil moisture and convective development in a mountain enclosed Tibetan Basin

The Tibetan Plateau plays a significant role in atmospheric circulation and the Asian monsoon system. Turbulent surface fluxes and the evolution of boundary-layer clouds to deep and moist convection provide a feedback system that modifies the plateau's surface energy balance on scales that are...
