Abstract

The relationships among convectively generated gravity waves and multi-scale organization of convection were investigated. The multi-scale organization and scale-selection of moist convection in a large-scale domain was analyzed using a cloud-resolving model. It was found that the vertical heating profile affected the amplitude of the fast and slow modes of gravity waves, where fast wave was a response to deep heating. Temperature and moisture perturbations beyond the leading edge of the slow wave were found to be insensitive to the heating profile.
