Easterly-wave-modulated convection
Synoptic-scale baroclinic variability (large-scale forcing, shear) by easterly waves controlled the organization of convection in GATE over a 1-week period.
CSRM used to study this aspect and attendant parameterization issues using large-scale forcing derived from GATE sounding network.
Similar strategy could be used for NAME Tier 1, complex coastal terrain an extra challenge.
