Conclusions
20 Introduction Results Conclusion
Conclusions
The introduction of shallow convection and the further development of the scheme for the ice phase (heterogeneous freezing, homogeneous freezing, precipitation)
e
for the ice phase (heterogeneous freezing, homogeneous freezing, precipitation) change the cloud cover in ECHAM5 in a drastic way.
► The results suggest the necessity for a fine tuning of the shallow convective
mat
e S
cien
ce scheme (vertical velocity at cloud base, mixing at cloud edge or/and at cloud top) and for the GCM (precipitation efficiency,...).
► The overall results seems to show an improvement (cloud cover,...) but the
ric a
nd C
lim
p ( , )interaction of the different convection types and the precipitation efficiency is to control in more detail.
H r Atm
osph
er ► Next steps: Detailed analysis of the output and understanding of the effects of the new scheme.
