摘要: With this study, to better understand the behavior of quasi-equilibrium-based convection parameterizations at higher resolution, we use a diagnostic framework examine resolution-dependence subgrid-scale vertical transport moist static energy as parameterized by Zhang-McFarlane parameterization (ZM). Grid-scale input ZM is supplied coarsening output from cloud-resolving model (CRM) simulations onto subdomains ranging in size 8 × 256 km2s.
