...A number of convective parameterization schemes (CPSs) have been developed over the years (e.g., Manabe et al. 1965; Ooyama 1971; Kuo 1974; Arakawa and Schubert 1974; Fritsch and Chappell 1980; Bougeault 1985; Betts 1986; Frank and Cohen 1987; Tiedtke 1989; Gregory and Rowntree 1990; Emanuel 1991; Grell 1993), and many of these schemes continue to be used and modified (e....

...As a consequence, the performance of mass flux CPSs is very sensitive to parameters that control the ratio of these mass fluxes in the lower troposphere (Tiedtke 1989)....

...Once these properties are known, one can specify either (a) the downdraft mass flux value at some level (e.g., Tiedtke 1989; Frank and Cohen 1987) or (b) the amount of condensate available for evaporation in the downdrafts (e.g., Fritsch and Chappell 1980; Grell 1993) and then solve for the other....

...Indeed, the impact of large-scale destabilizing processes is included (either directly or indirectly) in the trigger functions of most other CPSs (e.g., Arakawa and Schubert 1974; Anthes 1977; Bougeault 1985; Tiedtke 1989; Grell 1993; Janjić 1994)....

...In the modified KF scheme, shallow convection is activated when all of the criteria for deep convection are satisfied except that the cloud model yields an updraft more shallow than the minimum cloud depth, similar to the convective schemes in the NCEP Eta Model (Janjić 1994; Baldwin et al. 2002) and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Integrated Forecast System (Gregory et al. 2000)....
