Description
Studies of deep convection have long established that environmental wind shear is important for the development of long-lived organized convection. But do we understand how winds play a role in the organization of shallow convection?
In this talk I will show idealized and realistic large-eddy simulations of precipitating shallow convection and discuss the sensitivity of convective deepening to wind shear and the role of mesoscale circulations in setting convective momentum transport and (near-surface) wind stress.
