Abstract

Thermals in the atmosphere are driven by buoyancy forces due to density differences between air parcels and their environment (Archimedes principle). Here we present some estimates on the contribution of moisture on the strength of thermals based on numerical simulations with a large-eddy simulation model (LES).
