Relationship between level of neutral buoyancy and dual-Doppler observed mass detrainment levels in deep convection

Although it is generally accepted that the level of neutral buoyancy (LNB) is only a coarse estimate of updraft depth, the LNB is still used to understand and predict storm structure in both observations and modeling. This study uses case studies to quantify the variability associated with using env...
