Abstract

The effect of midlatitude organized convection on its environment is diagnosed through the calculation of mesoscale heat and moisture budgets over a region during the 10-11 April 1979 AVE-SESAME case. The noise level or error at individual points is about 5^oC day^-1 for the heat budget and 2 g kg^-1 day^-1 for the moisture budget, consistent with the sensitivity tests discussed by Kuo and Anthes in a related paper. However, when averaged over an area bigger than the observational scale, the noise level is considerably reduced. -from Authors
