BOUNDARY LAYER CONVECTION - IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND QUESTIONS
- Describe the formation and structure of HCRs. How are they observed?
- What might be responsible for the along-roll periodicities in vertical velocity and cloud?
- Describe the structure of open and closed cell convection. Climatologically, where do they form around the world?
- Describe the transition from HCRs to open cells in a convective boundary layer using the Monin Obukhov Length.
- Discuss the extent that heat and moisture are well mixed vertically and horizontally in the mixed layer. How is this important for convective initiation?
