A Rigorous Treatment of Moist Convection in a Single Column
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a single column model of moist convection in the atmosphere. We state the conditions for it to represent a stable steady state. We then evolve the column by subjecting it to an upward displacement which can release instability, leading to a time dependent sequence of stable steady states. We propose a definition of measure valued solution to describe the time dependence and prove its existence.

Linear response functions of two convective parameterization schemes
[1] Two 1-D atmospheric column models containing convective parameterization schemes are compared to a 3-D cloud system resolving model (CSRM) using a recent technique that admits study of responses of convection to small temperature and moisture anomalies. The MIT Single-Column Model (MSCM) and Diabat3 (D3) are the column models of study. There exist notable differences between the responses o...
متن کاملOcean Convective Available Potential Energy. Part I: Concept and Calculation
Thermobaric convection (type II convection) and thermobaric cabbeling (type III convection) might substantially contribute to vertical mixing, vertical heat transport, and deep-water formation in the World Ocean.However, the extent of this contribution remains poorly constrained. The concept of ocean convective available potential energy (OCAPE), the thermobaric energy source for type II and ty...
متن کاملSingle Walled Carbon Nanotube Effects on Mixed Convection heat Transfer in an Enclosure: a LBM Approach
The effects of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) on mixed convection in a cavity are investigated numerically. The problem is studied for different Richardson numbers (0.1-10), volume fractions of nanotubes (0-1%), and aspect ratio of the cavity (0.5-2.5) when the Grashof number is equal to 103. The volume fraction of added nanotubes to Water as base fluid are lowers than 1% to make dilute ...
متن کاملMultiscale Models with Moisture and Systematic Strategies for Superparameterization
The accurate parameterization of moist convection presents a major challenge for the accurate prediction of weather and climate through numerical models. Superparameterization is a promising recent alternative strategy for including the effects of moist convection through explicit turbulent fluxes calculated from a cloud-resolving model. Basic scales for cloud-resolving modeling are the microsc...
متن کاملGross Moist Stability Assessment during TOGA COARE: Amplification and Decay of Convection
Daily averaged TOGA COARE data are analyzed to test our hypothesis that convection is amplified (attenuated) via sub-critical (super-critical) gross moist stability which corresponds to a bottom-heavy (top-heavy) vertical velocity profile. Gross moist stability (GMS) is a quantity which represents efficiency of moist static energy (MSE) export by convection and associated large-scale circulatio...
