ZeroBuoyancyEntrainingPlume

class konrad.entrainment.ZeroBuoyancyEntrainingPlume(*args, **kwargs)

Zero-buoyancy entraining plume with a height-dependent weighting coefficient.

Adjustment with a lapse rate affected by entrainment between the cloud base (960hPa to convective top). Following moist-adiabat at the upper (T_con=T_rad) and lower boundaries (surface). Deviating from moist-adiabat in between. Initial temperature reduction from entrainment following the zero-buoyancy entraining plume model as described by Singh&O’Gorman (2013). Applying a height-dependent coefficient to the initial ttemperature reduction to mimick the buoyancy-sorting effect of convection as described in Bao et al. (submitted).

__init__(entr=0.5)

Initialize the entrainment component.

entr (float): Entrainment parameter.
