This session welcomes contributions on atmospheric convection, including dry, shallow, or deep convection. A particular session focus is the organization of convection, such as mesoscale convective systems, convectively-coupled waves, idealized studies of self-aggregation, or research on the importance of organization for climate sensitivity. Additionally, submissions that address other aspects of convection like the convective lifecycle and structures including cold pools, interactions of convection with other physical processes or the representation of convection in numerical weather prediction and climate models are strongly encouraged. The research can use any tool, from idealized theoretical models, large-eddy simulations, convection-permitting simulations, to coarser-resolution simulations using parameterised convection, machine learning techniques, or observations and field campaigns.
