NAME GCM-OBS TEAM
STRATEGY:
(1) Assess quality of diurnal cycle in several AGCMs; focus on convective / PBL parameterizations.
(2) Examine relationships between diurnal circulation and monsoon precipitation:
* behavior of the parameterizations
(3) Assess the impact of resolution (from 2° lat/lon to about _° lat/lon).
(4) Carry out process-oriented sensitivity experiments
* role of convection and PBL in shaping the diurnal cycle.
(5) Exploit observations from NAME as well as ARM and NASA Aqua (especially profile information) to validate parameterizations.
(6) Define new observational requirements for improving the parameterizations.
