Which vorticity budget term explains the intensification of a mesoscale convective vortex?
Answer: D
Mid-level convergence beneath the stratiform precipitation region stretches the column and concentrates the absolute vorticity into a mesoscale vortex. Such vortices sometimes go on to seed tropical cyclogenesis. The beta effect is negligible over the short lifetime and small scale, the solenoidal term is small in pressure coordinates, and friction acts to dissipate rather than concentrate at these levels. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
