Got a question about turbulence in the clouds vs. not in the clouds.
Is the turbulence in a cumulus cloud the same as the turbulence just below the cloud?
My thinking is this. The updraft or whatever that created the cloud has to start below where the cloud is forming, the cloud just simply starts forming where the air temp reaches the dewpoint. Does the saturated adiabatic lapse rate do something weird to the airflow? Therefore, shoudn't the turbulence be about the same directly under a given cumulus build up as it would be inside the cloud? This threads assumes buildups that are not yet thunderstorms.
I obviously don't have much experience with this, just wondering what everyone else thinks or knows about this.
Thanks.
