Subdaily temperature and precipitation extremes in response to warmer SSTs are investigated on a global scale using the superparameterized (SP) Community Atmosphere Model (CAM), in which a cloud-resolving model is embedded in each CAM grid column to simulate convection explicitly.

Effects of explicit convection on global land‐atmosphere coupling in the superparameterized CAM
AbstractConventional global climate models are prone to producing unrealistic land‐atmosphere coupling signals. Cumulus and convection parameterizations are natural culprits but the effect of bypassing them with explicitly resolved convection on global land‐atmosphere coupling dynamics has not been explored systematically.

Effects of explicit atmospheric convection at high CO2
The effect of clouds on climate remains the largest uncertainty in climate change predictions, due to the inability of global climate models (GCMs) to resolve essential small-scale cloud and convection processes.

2011: Superparameterization in ocean modelling: Application to deep convection
a b s t r a c t We explore the efficacy of ''super parameterization'' (SP) in ocean modeling in which local 2-d nonhydrostatic plume-resolving fine-grained (FG) models are embedded at each vertical column of a coarse-grained (CG ...

Particle-Continuum Multiscale Modeling of Sea Ice Floes
Sea ice profoundly influences the polar environment and the global climate. Traditionally, Sea ice has been modeled as a continuum under Eulerian coordinates to describe its large-scale features, using, for instance, viscous-plastic rheology.

Towards a modular superparameterization for Stratocumulus clouds considering unsteady entrainment
Low clouds are increasingly recognized as the main source of divergence in model based estimates of climate change. The best tool for understanding clouds and microphysical interactions is Large Eddy Simulation (LES), but fundamental issues emerge in ...

Incorporation of 3D Shortwave Radiative Effects within the Weather Research and Forecasting Model [PDF]
A principal goal of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program is to understand the 3D cloud-radiation problem from scales ranging from the local to the size of global climate model (GCM) grid squares.
