| Description | An evaluation to reveal physical insight into the involved mechanisms through a combination of the large scale heat and moisture budgets and formulation of the latent heat released was performed. To improve upon the treatment of the interaction of deep convection with the environment, modifications consisting of considerations of the large scale moisture supply and of the vertical transport of moisture and of dry static energy inside the cloud are made. Also, a two layer cloud ensemble model is combined with the modified scheme. An examination of the modified scheme is performed by combining the large scale heat and moisture budgets and the modified formulation of the latent heat released. The modified parameterization procedures are compared with the original scheme, and the results of tests of both schemes are discussed. A variational optimization scheme is developed to analyze the wind field such that the integrated continuity equation and the global boundary condition are satisfied. |
