Session Description:
Intense continental convection is responsible for a large fraction of severe high-impact weather events globally, including hail, strong winds, lightning, and tornadoes, and often comprises much of the tail of hydrologic extremes. However, a holistic view of controls on continental convective intensity such that they can be properly represented in multi-scale models is lacking at present. Given the societal importance of intense convection, this session proposes to improve understanding on the controls, impacts, and prediction of intense convection and severe weather for improved predictability on weather and climate timescales. Contributions in the following areas are encouraged: 1) observations and model studies of physical controls on convective intensity, including controls from topography and the land surface, and 2) the representation of intense continental convection in weather and climate models, including the prediction of high-impact weather.
