Sentences with phrase «cumulus convection in»

People ranging from Gavin Schmidt (http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/12/tropical-troposphere-trends/) to Richard Lindzen (who says «The dominant role of cumulus convection in the tropics requires that temperature approximately follow what is called a moist adiabatic profile.

In the baseline simulations, cumulus convection arose an hour into the exercise and generated clouds that very much resembled in appearance at least those photographed during INDOEIn the baseline simulations, cumulus convection arose an hour into the exercise and generated clouds that very much resembled in appearance at least those photographed during INDOEin appearance at least those photographed during INDOEX.

At this point, either the clouds can dissipate into a popcorn - like formation — which is called unaggregated convection — or other cumulus clouds in the vicinity will pile onto them, forming a larger cloud cluster (aggregated convection).

There may be a cap for convection, but latent heating in a growing cumulus cloud (forced locally by... whatever) may eventually allow it to mushroom.

Whether the activity of cumulus convection is determined by the variables averaged over the grid box of numerical models (100 km scale for typical GCMs, 20 km scale in the case of «high resolution» GCM of MRI).

Slowing such overturning by reducing the horizontal differential heating could tend to allow heat to build up at lower levels until the lapse rate is more favorable to localized vertical overturning (LVO)(The two forms of overturning are not always completely distinct or separate; for example, the Hadley cell, Walker, and monsoon circulations, as well as extratropical storm track activity (developing from baroclinic instability (Rossby wave phenomena)-RRB- are driven and organized in part by horizontal differential heating, but in the ascending portions of these circulations, cumulus - type convection can occur).

Then we have to consider that the amount of water coming in will decrease because since convection is increasing cumulus cloudiness is increasing.

In - depth analysis reveals that the model's shallow cumulus convection scheme tends to significantly under - produce clouds during the times when shallow cumuli exist in the observations, while the deep convective and stratiform cloud schemes significantly over-produce low - level clouds throughout the daIn - depth analysis reveals that the model's shallow cumulus convection scheme tends to significantly under - produce clouds during the times when shallow cumuli exist in the observations, while the deep convective and stratiform cloud schemes significantly over-produce low - level clouds throughout the dain the observations, while the deep convective and stratiform cloud schemes significantly over-produce low - level clouds throughout the day.

«The authors demonstrate that model estimates of climate sensitivity can be strongly affected by the manner through which cumulus cloud condensate is converted into precipitation in a model's convection parameterization, processes that are only crudely accounted for in GCMs.

Thirty years later, the relevance of this study has been realized in the development of stochastic approaches to represent cumulus convection and its upscale energy transports, and in the emerging efforts to resolve these multi-scale processes in atmospheric simulations at the cloud system - resolving scale (approx. 1 km).

At this point, either the clouds can dissipate into a popcorn - like formation — which is called unaggregated convection — or other cumulus clouds in the vicinity will pile onto them, forming a larger cloud cluster (aggregated convection).

Using a full factorial design, three schemes were changed in the MPE: vertical diffusion, cloud microphysics, and cumulus convection.
