For
deep convective systems, the G - 1
measurements will focus on characterizing the environmental conditions that lead to convective initiation and the vertical profiles of environmental properties around the growing
deep convection and in adjacent regions that are not initiating
deep convection so that the differences in environment can be compared.
The links between model biases and the underlying assumptions of the shallow cumulus scheme are further diagnosed with the aid of large - eddy simulations and aircraft
measurements, and by suppressing the triggering of the
deep convection scheme.
