Abstract

A spectral cumulus ensemble model has been used to determine the impact of lateral detrainment and convective downdraft on the cloud clusters, during, different phases of the, summer monsoon, the model consists of a population of clouds of different sizes which are In different stages of their life cycle. Entrainment and detrainment is considered to take place at all levels, Each cumulus cell has an updraft and a corresponding down draft which originates at a level below the cloud top depending upon the depth of the cloud, Upper, air observations collected from stationary ships forming polygons over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal during MONEX- 79 have been used for the study
