Preliminary Conclusions

• EOF analysis can reveal a number of interesting structures in the velocity and potential temperature fields of a numerical simulation of convection. Some of these modes are associated with convection in the troposphere, while others are associated with waves in the stratosphere.
• Particle trajectory analysis obtains isolation of moist convective updrafts within the stratosphere, which allows us to understand how important these updrafts are to generating momentum flux, kinetic energy and other quantities within the troposphere.
