A parametrization equation for momentum flux due to convectively generated gravity waves is derived and tested numerically. the wave momentum flux just above the convective layer is shown to depend directly on the shear and the intensity of convection, and inversely on the stability of the air above the convection. Simulations of ensembles of precipitating convective clouds are used to validate the parametrization and to estimate the efficiency of wave generation by convection in one particular convective regime: an idealized cold‐air outbreak with unidirectional shear.
