Abstract: Spindown experiments have been conducted, using an atmospheric general circulation model, to determine the nature and timescale of adjustment to a baroclinically neutral state. The spindown was obtained by turning off the ...

Abstract: A stochastic parameterization scheme for deep convection is described, suitable for use in both climate and NWP models. Theoretical arguments and the results of cloud-resolving models are discussed in order to motivate the ...

Abstract: A polarimetric radar forward operator has been developed as a tool for the systematic evaluation of microphysical parameterization schemes in high-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. The application of ...
