Toward an Understanding of Tropical Cyclone Formation with a Nonhydrostatic, Mesoscale-Convection-Resolving Model
This paper describes results from numerical experiments which have been made toward a better understanding of tropical cyclone formation. This study uses a nonhydrostatic version of the author’s mesoscale-convection-resolving model that was developed in the 1980s to improve paramerization schemes of moist convection. In this study the horizontal grid size is taken to be 20 km in an area of 6,00...
متن کاملTesting a Cumulus Parameterization With a Cumulus Ensemble Model in Weak Temperature Gradient Mode
This paper prototypes a method for calibrating a cumulus parameterization against a cumulus ensemble model. The key to this technique is to run the cumulus model and the parameterization in identical test cells which provide forcing typical of that seen over tropical oceans. In particular, the mean temperature pro le is relaxed to a reference pro le which is assumed to be characteristic of the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the atmospheric transport in a GCM using radon measurements: sensitivity to cumulus convection parameterization
The radioactive species radon (222Rn) has long been used as a test tracer for the numerical simulation of large scale transport processes. In this study, radon transport experiments are carried out using an atmospheric GCM with a finite-difference dynamical core, the van Leer type FFSL advection algorithm, and two state-of-the-art cumulus convection parameterization schemes. Measurements of sur...
متن کاملA Minimal Three-Dimensional Tropical Cyclone Model
A minimal 3D numerical model designed for basic studies of tropical cyclone behavior is described. The model is formulated in s coordinates on an f or b plane and has three vertical levels, one characterizing a shallow boundary layer and the other two representing the upper and lower troposphere, respectively. It has three options for treating cumulus convection on the subgrid scale and a simpl...
متن کاملSensitivity of Climate Simulations to the Parameterization of Cumulus Convection in the Canadian Climate Centre General Circulation Model
A simplified cumulus parameterization scheme, suitable for use in GCMs, is presented. This parameterization is based on a plume ensemble concept similar to that originally proposed by Arakawa and Schubert (1974). However, it employs three assumptions which significantly simplify the formulation and implementation of the scheme. It is assumed that an ensemble of convective-scale updrafts with as...
