Parameterization of sub-grid scale convection

William M. Frank, John Molinari, J. S. Kain, Mitch Moncrieff, Mohan Karyampudi, Georg Grell

Abstract

The following topics are discussed: an overview of the cumulus parameterization problem; interactions between explicit and implicit processes in mesoscale models; effects of model grid size on the cumulus parameterization problem; parameterizing convective effects on momentum fields in mesoscale models; differences between slantwise and vertical cumulus parameterization; experiments with different closure hypotheses; and coupling cumulus parameterizations to boundary layer, stable cloud, and radiation schemes.
