RISResponse of Deep Tropical Cumulus Clouds to Mesoscale Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The two-dimensional cloud ensemble model developed by Soong and Ogura (1980) is used to simulate the response of deep clouds to mesoscale lifting using data obtained in the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) Atlantic ...
Expanding the Goddard CSH Algorithm for GPM: New Extratropical Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Goddard convective?stratiform heating (CSH) algorithm has been used to retrieve latent heating (LH) associated with clouds and cloud systems in support of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission and Global ...
The Effect of Melting Processes on the Development of a Tropical and a Midlatitude Squall Line
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several sensitivity tests are performed to assess the effect of melting processes on the development of a midlatitude continental squall line and a tropical oceanic squall line. It is found that melting processes play an ...

Water and Energy Budgets of a Florida Mesoscale Convective System: A Combined Observational and Modeling Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale water and energy budgets are diagnosed for a squall line during the Convection and Precipitation Electrification Experiment and combined with the results of the two-dimensional Goddard Cumulus Ensemble Model. The ...
Parameterization of Wind Gustiness for the Computation of Ocean Surface Fluxes at Different Spatial Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of the Goddard cloud-ensemble (GCE) model output forced by observational data over the tropical western Pacific and eastern tropical North Atlantic has shown that ocean surface latent and sensible heat fluxes ...
A Study of the Response of Deep Tropical Clouds to Large-Scale Thermodynamic Forcings. Part II: Sensitivities to Microphysics, Radiation, and Surface Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) model is used to examine the sensitivities of multiday 2D simulations of deep tropical convection to surface fluxes, interactive radiation, and ice microphysical processes. The simulations ...
A Preliminary Study of the Tropical Water Cycle and its Sensitivity to Surface Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the preliminary findings of an investigation of the water budget of tropical cumulus convection using the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble Model (GCEM). Results of an experiment designed to obtain a ?fingerprint? ...
The Atmospheric Energy Budget and Large-Scale Precipitation Efficiency of Convective Systems during TOGA COARE, GATE, SCSMEX, and ARM: Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional version of the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) model is used to simulate convective systems that developed in various geographic locations (east Atlantic, west Pacific, South China Sea, and Great Plains ...
Modeling of Convective–Stratiform Precipitation Processes: Sensitivity to Partitioning Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six different convective?stratiform separation techniques are compared and evaluated using 2D numerical simulations of a tropical and a midlatitude continental squall line. The techniques used include a texture algorithm ...
