12. The dusty case: feature of convection The depth of the convection layer becomes shallower and the intensity of convetive wind becomes smaller than those of the dust-free case. The stratospheric temperature increases because of the radiative heating caused by the dust absorption of solar radiation. Fig.11: Distributions of potential temperature deviation from the horizontal mean (upper left), turbulent diffusion coefficient (lower left), vertical and horizontal winds (upper right and lower right) at LT = 14:00 under dusty condition. The contour intervals are 5 m/sec for wind velocity.
