The Met Office Unified Model is run for a case observed during Intensive Observation Period 18 (IOP18) of the Convective Storms Initiation Project (CSIP). The aims are to identify the physical processes that lead to perturbation growth at the convective scale in response to model‐state perturbations and to determine their sensitivity to the character of the perturbations. The case is strongly upper‐level forced but with detailed mesoscale/convective‐scale evolution that is dependent on smaller‐scale processes. Potential temperature is perturbed within the boundary layer. The effects on perturbation growth of both the amplitude and typical scale length of the perturbations are investigated, and perturbations are applied either sequentially (every 30 minutes throughout the simulation) or at specific times.
