• Effective buoyancy and CAPE: Some implications for tropical cyclones 

      Smith, R. K.ORCIDiD; Montgomery, M. T.ORCIDiD (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2022-06-01)
      We review the widely used concepts of “buoyancy” and “convective available potential energy” (CAPE) in relation to deep convection in tropical cyclones and discuss their limitations. A fact easily forgotten in applying ...
