| Zusammenfassung |
| A new cumulus convection parameterisation is presented in this paper.
The parameterisation uses an explicit spectral approach and determines,
unlike other convection schemes, for each convection event a new cloud
distribution function regarding to the given vertical temperature and
humidity profiles.
This is done by using a one dimensional cloud model to create
a spectrum of different clouds. The interaction between all non convective
physical processes in the AGCM and all different clouds is taken
into account to calculate a selfconsistent cloud spectrum.
The model has been implemented in the ECHAM5 AGCM and tested against
a large eddy simulation model.
The representation of a shallow cumulus cloud field by the AGCM
could be much improved. Diurnal cycle, cloud cover, liquid water
path and the vertical structure of the mass flux, determined by the
new convection scheme are close to the large eddy simulation,
whereas the standard convection scheme failed in simulating
this convection episode. |
