A method for calculating the effects of deep cumulus convection in numerical models.

Abstract

A closure is proposed for the b parameter of Kuo (1974), using the framework developed by Krishnamurti et al (1976). Emphasis is placed on the time-dependent behavior of the solutions. The proposed closure is found to be the only one of several tested to produce an approach to moist neutrality in both temperature and moisture under strong external forcing.-from Author
