The use of conserved variables in the modeling and parameterization of shallow cumulus trade wind boundary layers

Creator:

Barbour, Philip L. (Philip Lee), 1960-

Abstract:

A time dependent model of the shallow, tropical convective boundary layer is developed and tested. To simplify the treatment of thermodynamic processes and return to first principles of physics, conserved quantities of entropy and total water density are used as primary model variables. In addition, a new shallow cumulus parameterization...
