Model and Physics -- Analysis Methodology -- Comparison Between Simulations and Observations -- Surface Rainfall Processes -- Tropical Cloud Clusters -- Cloud Radiative and Microphysical Processes -- Convective, Moist, and Dynamic Vorticity Vectors -- Diurnal Variations of Tropical Oceanic Convection -- Precipitation Efficiency -- Air–Sea Coupling -- Climate Equilibrium States -- Remote Sensing Applications -- Future Perspective of Cloud-Resolving Modeling.
This book examines cloud-resolving modeling of tropical convective processes and summarizes modeling results during TOGA COARE since 1992. The book introduces the framework of cloud-resolving model, methodologies for analysis of modeling outputs, and validation of simulations with observations. The book details important scientific findings in the aspects of surface rainfall processes, precipitation efficiency, dynamic and thermodynamic processes associated with tropical convection, diurnal variations, radiative and cloud microphysical processes associated with development of cloud clusters, air-sea coupling on convective scales, climate equilibrium states, and remote sensing applications. The book will be beneficial to graduate students and researchers in cloud, mesoscale and global modeling.
