A review of the theoretical basis for bulk mass flux convective parameterization [PDF]
, 2009 Most parameterizations for precipitating convection in use today are bulk schemes, in which an ensemble of cumulus elements with different properties is modelled as a single, representative entraining-detraining plume.

Two-dimensional Moist Stratified Turbulence and the Emergence of Vertically Sheared Horizontal Flows
, 2011 Moist stratified turbulence is studied in a two-dimensional Boussinesq system influenced by condensation and evaporation. The problem is set in a periodic domain and employs simple evaporation and condensation schemes, wherein both the processes push ...

Simulation of the intraseasonal variability over the Eastern Pacific ITCZ in climate models [PDF]
, 2012 During boreal summer, convective activity over the eastern Pacific (EPAC) inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) exhibits vigorous intraseasonal variability (ISV). Previous observational studies identified two dominant ISV modes over the EPAC, i.e., a 40-

Cloud feedback mechanisms and their representation in global climate models [PDF]
, 2017 Cloud feedback – the change in top-of-atmosphere radiative flux resulting from the cloud response to warming – constitutes by far the largest source of uncertainty in the climate response to CO2 forcing simulated by global climate models (GCMs).
