A convection parameterization scheme recently incorporated into the Meteorological Office 10-level model is described. A one-dimensional cloud model incorporating entrainment and detrainment, together with a simple representation of cloud microphysics, is used to provide heat and moisture fluxes for the predictive equations of the parameterization. Results of the scheme in operational use are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
