Non‐Monotonic Convective Response to Vertical Wind Shear: A Closer Look From Cloud Resolving Model Simulations by Yang Tian, Rich Neale, Hugh Morrison

“…Abstract Using a three‐dimensional cloud‐resolving model, a systematic exploration is undertaken of the response of a radiative‐convective equilibrium state to imposed vertical wind shear of varying magnitude. Domain‐averaged surface precipitation exhibits a non‐monotonic sensitivity to increasing shear magnitude, characterized by a decrease with increasing shear for weakly sheared conditions (<1.5 × 10−3 s−1) and an increase under stronger shear (>1.5 × 10−3 s−1), with a similar trend in surface heat fluxes. …”
