Modification of boundary layer roll dynamics by induced tropospheric gravity waves

This study investigates two-dimensional coupled interactions between the convectively driven planetary boundary layer and overlying stable layer as a possible mechanism for the formation of large aspect ratio horizontal roll convection (i.e. roll width to height ratio greater than ~4). A two-laye...
