DescriptionConvection affects all atmospheric scales. Therefore, the convection session aims to provide a deeper understanding of the atmospheric general circulation and its interaction with convective heating and vertical transports. The notions and techniques acquired during the course should be useful for developers of convective parametrizations, forecasters and for analysing output from high-resolution convection resolving models. Learning objectives- Explain the notion of convective adjustment and the mass flux concept in particular
- the Describe the basic concepts behind the ECMWF convection parametrization and some useful numerical tricks
AudiencePost-graduate researchers, forecasters Link to moduleCONVECTION_T2_2016.ppt Full lecture notes (prose) to support slides http://www.ecmwf.int/sites/default/files/Atmospheric_moist_convection.pdf
