Parameterization of convective clouds, mesoscale convective systems, and convective-generated cirrus. Year 2 technical progress report, September 15, 1991--September 14, 1992

摘要

A level 2.5w deep convection updraft/downdraft parameterization scheme has been refined and tested against 3D simulations of sea-breeze generated convection over S. Florida. Cases for explicit simulation of MCSs in mid-latitudes and tropics have been encouraging. After a few refinements in those cases, fine resolution explicit simualtions of deep convection and mesoscale, stratiform clouds will be begun.
