Penetrative <strong>convection</strong><br />
• “Penetration” here does<br />
not merely mean that<br />
the cloud top height<br />
exceeds the local<br />
<strong>tropopause</strong> level.<br />
Irreversible mass<br />
transfer is required<br />
• The mere presence of<br />
an overshooting top<br />
does not necessarily<br />
qualify a storm as a<br />
penetrative one<br />
because it may just<br />
distort the <strong>tropopause</strong><br />
temporarily but causes<br />
no irreversible<br />
transport of materials.
