Most atmospheric motions of different spatial scales and precipitation are closely related to
phase transitions in clouds. The continuously increasing resolution of large‐scale and …

This paper reviews the current understanding of moist orographic convection and its
regulation by surface-exchange processes. Such convection tends to develop when and …

Stochastic Parameterization: Toward a New View of Weather and Climate Models in:
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Volume 98 Issue 3 (2017) Jump to Content …

To make weather and climate models computationally affordable, small‐scale processes are
usually represented in terms of the large‐scale, explicitly resolved processes using physics …

The continental tropics play a leading role in the terrestrial energy, water, and carbon cycles.
Land–atmosphere interactions are integral in the regulation of these fluxes across multiple …

Convective quasi-equilibrium (QE) and weak temperature gradient (WTG) balances are
frequently employed to study the tropical atmosphere. This study uses linearized equatorial …

In a changing climate, a key role may be played by the response of convective-type cloud
and precipitation to temperature changes,,. Yet, it is unclear if convective precipitation …

Simple process models and complex climate models are remarkably sensitive to the time
scale of convective adjustment τ, but this parameter remains poorly constrained and …

Conditional instability and the buoyancy of plumes drive moist convection but have a variety
of representations in model convective schemes. Vertical thermodynamic structure …

During the 1950s and 1960s, when intensive investigations on atmospheric moist
convection were launched, two possibilities were identified for the basic element of moist …
