Abstract: The ?thermal plume model,? a mass-flux scheme combined with a classical diffusive approach, originally developed to represent turbulent transport in the dry convective boundary layer, is extended here to the representation ...

Abstract: his paper proposes a new formulation of the deep convection triggering for general circulation model convective parameterizations. This triggering is driven by evolving properties of the strongest boundary layer thermals. ...

Abstract: his paper presents a stochastic triggering parameterization for deep convection and its implementation in the latest standard version of the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique?Zoom (LMDZ) general circulation model: ...

Abstract: n 10 July 2006, during the Special Observation Period (SOP) of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) campaign, a small convective system initiated over Niamey and propagated westward in the vicinity of ...

Abstract: he process of parameter estimation targeting a chosen set of observations is an essential aspect of numerical modeling. This process is usually named tuning in the climate modeling community. In climate models, the variety ...
