CONT

With the exception of vorticity, which is assumed to have completely dissipated during descent, the same conservation and motion equations used for convective descent are applicable, but they are now written for either a spheroid or an ellipsoid -depending on whether the cloud stalls in the water column or hits the bottom.

Key term(s)
  • equation of motion

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Modélisation (Mathématique)
CONT

Cependant, les équations de conservation de masse et de mouvement demeurent mais elles sont maintenant appliquées à une autre configuration; ellipsoïde ou sphéroïde selon les conditions d'arrêt de la descente.
