DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents descriptions of numerical models for testing cumulus in cloud fields. It is divided into six parts. Part I provides an overview of the problem, including descriptions of cumulus clouds and the effects of ensembles of cumulus clouds on mass, momentum, and vorticity distributions. A review of closure assumptions is also provided. A review of "classical" convection schemes in widespread use is provided in Part II. The special problems associated with the representation of convection in mesoscale models are discussed in Part III, along with descriptions of some of the commonly used mesoscale schemes. Part IV covers some of the problems associated with the representation of convection in climate models, while the parameterization of slantwise convection is the subject of Part V.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe procedures and results of a study undertaken to evaluate and assess the impacts of three new parameterization schemes for the GL global spectral model as a 3-4 day range forecast model are described. The tree parameterization schemes are one each for the boundary-layer physics, moist convection and heating due to solar and terrestrial radiations. These schemes are incorporated either singly or jointly into a rhomboidal-30, 12-layer global spectral model for four-day simulations using FGGE III- a data as input. Evaluation and assessment are made on the basis of two kinds of global statistics: mean and root-mean-square errors, and on their magnitudes and distributions. The statistics are generated for both the primary, that is, prognostic, variables, and supplementary variables such as zonal-mean and zonal-eddies energy densities. The new moist convection scheme has been found to increase convective activity significantly and maintain it throughout the four-day period. It also warms and dries the middle troposphere, but produces rainfall far in excess of the climatology. The radiation parameterization has been found to cool the atmosphere and reduce its specific humidity. It counterbalances enhanced heating and moistening brought about by the new boundary-layer and moist convection schemes and eliminates the systematic warming of the old model.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents the most comprehensive and systematic description currently available of both classical and novel theories of cloud processes, providing a much-needed link between cloud theory, observation, experimental results, and cloud modeling. This volume shows why and how modern models serve as a major tool of investigation of cloud processes responsible for atmospheric phenomena, including climate change. It systematically describes classical as well as recent advancements in cloud physics, including cloud-aerosol interaction; collisions of particles in turbulent clouds; and the formation of multiphase cloud particles. As the first of its kind to serve as a practical guide for using state-of-the-art numerical cloud models, major emphasis is placed on explaining how microphysical processes are treated in modern numerical cloud resolving models. The book will be a valuable resource for advanced students, researchers and numerical model designers in cloud physics, atmospheric science, meteorology, and environmental science.
