Abstract Two- and three-dimensional anelastic numerical modeling experiments with common environmental profiles are used to study two aspects of the pressure perturbation field in strongly sheared convective storms: 1) the physical roles of the so-called “buoyant” and “dynamic” pressure components, and 2) the distinction between the buoyant and hydrostatic pressure perturbations. The two- and three-dimensional models are analogous except that the two-dimensional grid domain is about 50% longer in order to accommodate a broadening of the two-dimensional storm circulation with time. The pressure analysis helps to clarify certain marked differences between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional storms, most notably a much weaker main updraft in two dimensions pronounced downshear tilt of the two-dimensional storm core versus an erect three-dimensional storm core, and a dry secondary updraft downshear of the main cloudy updraft in two dimensions with no analog in three dimensions: In the main updraft, stro...
