North Atlantic deep water formation and AMOC in CMIP5 models [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2017 Deep water formation in climate models is indicative of their ability to simulate future ocean circulation, carbon and heat uptake, and sea level rise.

Global climate impacts of stochastic deep convection parameterization in the NCAR CAM5
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2016 In this study, the stochastic deep convection parameterization of Plant and Craig (PC) is implemented in the Community Atmospheric Model version 5 (CAM5) to incorporate the stochastic processes of convection into the Zhang‐McFarlane (ZM) deterministic ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 We extend the previously developed stochastic unified convection scheme (UNICON) for shallow convection to deep convection by parameterizing the impact of mesoscale organized flow on updraft properties.

Empirical evidence for deep convection being a major source of stratospheric ice clouds over North America [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Ice clouds in the lowermost stratosphere affect stratospheric water vapour and the Earth's radiation budget. The knowledge of its occurrence and driving forces is limited.

Deep Convective Organization, Moisture Vertical Structure, and Convective Transition Using Deep-Inflow Mixing [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2019 Abstract It is an open question whether an integrated measure of buoyancy can yield a strong relation to precipitation across tropical land and ocean, across the seasonal and diurnal cycles, and for varying degrees of convective organization.

Why did deep convection persist over four consecutive winters (2015–2018) southeast of Cape Farewell? [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2020 After more than a decade of shallow convection, deep convection returned to the Irminger Sea in 2008 and occurred several times since then to reach exceptional convection depths (> 1500 m) in 2015 and 2016.

Simulating model uncertainty of subgrid-scale processes by sampling model errors at convective scales [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2020 Ideally, perturbation schemes in ensemble forecasts should be based on the statistical properties of the model errors. Often, however, the statistical properties of these model errors are unknown. In practice, the perturbations are pragmatically modelled

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 In order to improve the physical consistency between shallow and deep convection, we modify the deep convective closure in the Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5) coupled with a third‐order turbulence closure parameterization (i.e., Cloud Layers ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 Global climate models exhibit large biases in the Southern Ocean. For example, in models Antarctic bottom water is formed mostly through open‐ocean deep convection rather than through shelf convection.

Importance of the variability of hydrographic preconditioning for deep convection in the Gulf of Lion, NW Mediterranean [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2010 We study the variability of hydrographic preconditioning defined as the heat and salt contents in the Ligurian Sea before convection. The stratification is found to reach a maximum in the intermediate layer in December, whose causes and consequences for ...
