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.

Deep convective clouds at the tropopause [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 Abstract. Data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the EOS Aqua spacecraft each day show tens of thousands of Cold Clouds (CC) in the tropical oceans with 10 μm window channel brightness temperatures colder than 225 K. These clouds represent a mix of cold anvil clouds and Deep Convective Clouds (DCC).

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.

Seasonal dynamics and annual budget of dissolved inorganic carbon in the northwestern Mediterranean deep-convection region [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2023 Deep convection plays a key role in the circulation, thermodynamics, and biogeochemical cycles in the Mediterranean Sea, which is considered to be a hotspot of biodiversity and climate change.

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.

Influence of convective transport on tropospheric ozone and its precursors in a chemistry-climate model [PDF]
, 2005 The impact of convection on tropospheric O3 and its precursors has been examined in a coupled chemistry-climate model. There are two ways that convection affects O3. First, convection affects O3 by vertical mixing of O3 itself.

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

The Grell–Freitas (GF) convection parameterization: recent developments, extensions, and applications [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2021 Recent developments and options in the GF (Grell and Freitas, 2014; Freitas et al., 2018) convection parameterization are presented. The parameterization has been expanded to a trimodal spectral size to simulate three convection modes: shallow, congestus,

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 ...
