Research brief: New model explores the relationship between humidity, instability, and precipitation in the tropics
November 26, 2019 9:57 am Comments Off on Research brief: New model explores the relationship between humidity, instability, and precipitation in the tropicsIn this paper, CLEX researchers considered the steady-state response of the atmosphere to an imposed large-scale flow. They found that under these steady-state conditions, humidity increases with the precipitation rate, while the lapse rate (rate of decrease of temperature with height) increases.
