Convection and easterly waves: the GATE simulation
CSRMs have simulated convection over tropical oceans and in association with major multiscale field-programs: GATE and TOGA COARE.
Large-scale forcing prescribed from objectively analyzed data from network of tropospheric soundings.
Results used for evaluation/development of physically based parameterization of convection and cloud-interactive radiation.
This multiscale cloud-system simulation is feasible for the NAME Tier 1 domain – in the challenging physical setting of complex coastal terrain.
