Abstract

The dynamics of thermal updrafts and compensating environmental downdrafts in the convective boundary layer are examined using observations from the Phoenix 78 field experiment. Separate vertical velocity budgets are presented for thermal updrafts and environmental downdrafts. These two budgets show the existence of qualitative differences in the forcing of the two legs of the convective circulations. -Author
