Diurnal cycle and convective organization in NAME

• Processes:

- sea- and land-breeze circulations

- orographically and convectively generated gravity waves

- propagating, organized convection (non-local dynamics)

- lee vortices in low-Froude-number mean flow

- ITCZ and easterly wave ‘flaring’

- Gulf-surge dynamics

- far-field influences

• Parameterization:

- convective triggering, transport, closure

- convective organization, scale-separation
