Abstract
  • A physical and mathematical framework for the mutually consistent parameterization of the effects of cumulus convection on the large-scale momentum and vorticity fields is proposed. The key to achieving consistency is the understanding that the vorticity dynamics of the clouds below the spatial resolution of a large-scale dynamical model may be neglected in the vorticity budget when the clouds are considered to be independent buoyant elements sharing a common large-scale environment This simplified approach is used to obtain a consistent pair of large-scale momentum and vorticity equations based on Ooyama's theory of cumulus parameterization. The results focus attention on the need to obtain a better understanding of the detrainment process and the pressure interactions between the clouds and their environment.
