Testing a Cumulus Parameterization With a Cumulus Ensemble Model in Weak Temperature Gradient Mode
This paper prototypes a method for calibrating a cumulus parameterization against a cumulus ensemble model. The key to this technique is to run the cumulus model and the parameterization in identical test cells which provide forcing typical of that seen over tropical oceans. In particular, the mean temperature pro le is relaxed to a reference pro le which is assumed to be characteristic of the ...

متن کاملLower-Tropospheric Warming and Drying in Tropical Mesoscale Convective Systems: Implications for the Problem of Cumulus Parameterization
Observations from the International Winter Monsoon Experiment (Winter MONEX) have been used to determine temperature changes in the lower troposphere beneath the stratiform components of tropical mesoscale convective systems. It is found that while the apparent heat source Q1 in the lower troposphere beneath the stratiform cloud systems is negative (due to hydrometeor melting and evaporation), ...
متن کاملThe Cumulus Parameterization Problem: Past, Present, and Future
A review of the cumulus parameterization problem is presented with an emphasis on its conceptual aspects covering the history of the underlying ideas, major problems existing at present, and possible directions and approaches for future climate models. Since its introduction in the early 1960s, there have been decades of controversies in posing the cumulus parameterization problem. In this pape...
متن کاملExplicit Simulation of Midlatitude Cumulus Ensembles: Comparison with ARM Data
This study describes some results from several simulations of cumulus ensembles at the Southern Great Plains site of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program during the July 1995 Intensive Observation Period (IOP). A 2D cloud ensemble model (CEM) is used to simulate the macroscopic properties of midlatitude cumulus ensembles. The observed large-scale, horizontal advective tendencies ...
