A simple parcel theory model of downdrafts in atmospheric convection.
Project description
dparcel is a very simple model of downdrafts in atmospheric convection that uses parcel theory to simulate the motion of a descending, entraining air parcel.
You may supply any atmospheric sounding and initial conditions for the calculation.
It was developed by Thomas Schanzer, an undergraduate student at the University of New South Wales, as part of a research project under the supervision of Prof. Steven Sherwood of the UNSW Climate Change Research Centre.
