Description
Updraft entrainment and surface flux feedbacks have been shown to be
potentially important to clustering in cloud resolving simulations of
deep convection in a state of radiative-convective equilibrium. Using the work of
Emanuel et al. (2014) and Craig and Mack(2013) as inspiration, we
present the results of idealized models of deep convection,
investigating the instability that can lead to spontaneous organisation
of deep convection. We add processes of entrainment into convective
updrafts and surface wind feedback to analyse the impact on the
stability of a simple two layer system and also a multi-column diffusion
model.
