Environmental variability during TOGA COARE and its effect on mesoscale convective systems : observations and modeling /

Two-dimensional model experiments using the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble model are performed in order to examine the role that environmental profiles of wind and humidity play in influencing the structure of mesoscale convective systems (MCSS) over the tropical oceans. The initial environments used in t...
