Abstract

The basic assumptions of conventional wave-CISK theory are examined against observations of mesoscale organized convective systems. The quasi-equilibrium assumption is disputed and a nonequilibrium model of clouds actively responding to mesoscale low-level mass fluxes in a preexisting conditionally unstable atmosphere is formulated. -from Authors
