upwards, per unit area, in convective updrafts. Convective mass flux encodes information about the frequency and intensity of thunderstorms and has been linked to the strength of the large-scale tropical circulation. In this talk I will introduce a new framework
for quantifying changes in convective mass flux using the clear-sky energy budget. This framework shows that convective mass fluxes decrease at around 3-5 % / K under warming, when viewed at a fixed isotherm. This decrease in convective mass flux with warming
is driven by a stabilization of the lapse rate and can be captured with a simple analytical model. I also revisit previous work by Held and Soden (2006), who proposed a scaling for changes in the convective mass flux with warming, and show that the Held and
Soden scaling does not capture inter-model spread in mass flux changes under warming. </span></font></div>

This work provides a quantitative constraint on changes in convective mass flux with warming and establishes a new framework for understanding changes in convection in a warming climate.</span></font>
