Convective momentum transport
- Convective momentum transport
-
Convective Momentum Transport - in the atmosphere it is an exchange of momentum usually due to vertical motion associated with clouds.
The essential processes responsible for cloud convective momentum transport in tropics are: (i) the vertical momentum advection due to subsidence of environmental air compensating cloud mass flux; (ii) the detrainment of excess momentum from clouds; and (iii) the convection induced pressure gradient force.
