Heat and energy fluxes in the convective cell behind a cold front
Department of Meteorology and Forecasting, Environmental University, 65016 Odessa, Ukraine
Abstract. High resolution model simulations are used to estimate heat fluxes and energy conversion in the convective cell developing behind a cold front. It is found that the model is able to simulate rapid temperature changes in the low troposphere up to 1 °C for a time period of a few minutes due to latent heat release as well as horizontal acceleration up to 5 m/s at the top of convective circulation. Numerical experiments have also shown sensitivity of fine resolution simulations to parameterizations used for the description of a large-scale flow.
