The Influence of Convective Momentum Transport and Vertical Wind Shear on the Evolution of a Cold Air Outbreak

Abstract To study the influence of convective momentum transport (CMT) on wind, boundary layer and cloud evolution in a marine cold air outbreak (CAO) we use large‐eddy simulations subject to different baroclinicity (wind shear) but similar surface forcing. The simulated domain is large enough, O(10...
