Abstract: The impact of a new cumulus parameterization developed in Part I of this paper on climatology in an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) is compared with that of the Arakawa?Schubert scheme. The parameterization ...

Abstract: he eastward-propagating intraseasonal oscillation represented by the Chikira?Sugiyama cumulus scheme in a general circulation model was investigated focusing on the variation of the free-tropospheric humidity. The net ...

Abstract: he eastward-propagating intraseasonal oscillation represented by the Chikira?Sugiyama cumulus parameterization in an atmospheric general circulation model is compared with observations and reanalyses. The scheme is ...

Abstract: A new cumulus parameterization is developed for which an entraining plume model is adopted. The lateral entrainment rate varies vertically depending on the surrounding environment. Two different formulations are examined ...

Abstract: The high sensitivity of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) to cumulus convection is examined by means of a series of climate simulations using an updated version of the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate ...

Abstract: he authors demonstrate that an appropriate treatment of convective entrainment is essential for determining spatial distributions of and temporal variations in precipitation. Four numerical experiments are performed using ...

Abstract: A new version of the atmosphere?ocean general circulation model cooperatively produced by the Japanese research community, known as the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC), has recently been developed. ...
