Detailed Investigation of the Self-Aggregation of Convection in Cloud-Resolving Simulations (2012, background): “These include background vertical shear (e.g., Robe and Emanuel 2001) and various internal feedbacks, such as those involving water vapor (e.g., Held et al. 1993; Tompkins 2001a), surface fluxes (e.g., Emanuel 1986), or radiative fluxes (e.g., Stephens et al. 2008).”
“A Theory for Strong Long-Lived Squall Lines” Revisited (2004, background): “Starting in a horizontally homogeneous environment, such systems invariably reorient themselves to be perpendicular to the shear, through the continual regeneration of new cells along the cold pool, and, as with the present results, such regeneration is especially enhanced when the shear is confined”
Influence of the subcloud layer on the development of a deep convective ensemble (2012, background): “In addition, wind shear may organize the convection into squall lines (Rotunno et al. 1988; Robe and Emanuel 2001; Parker 1996).”
Physical mechanisms controlling self‐aggregation of convection in idealized numerical modeling simulations (2013, background): “[4] Convection is often thought of as being organized by external influences such as large-scale sea surface temperature (SST) gradients or wind shears [e.g., Robe and Emanuel, 2001].”
