Physical Mechanisms Controlling the Offshore Propagation of Convection in the Tropics: 2. Influence of Topography

Abstract A set of idealized convection‐permitting simulations is performed to investigate the influence of topography on the physical mechanisms responsible for the nocturnal offshore propagation of convection around tropical islands. All simulations have an idealized island in the middle of a long...
