Importance of the Numerical Representation of Shallow and Deep Convection for Simulations of Dust Transport over a Desert Region
Figure 2
Time-height section of horizontally averaged virtual potential temperature for (a) EXP1 and for (c) EXP2 (both contoured at 1-K interval) and turbulent kinetic energy for (b) EXP1 (contoured at 0.05-m2 s−2 interval) and for (d) EXP2 (contoured at 0.1-m2 s−2 interval). In (c) the region with cloud water plus ice mixing ratio of 0.025–0.05 g kg−1 is lightly shaded and the region with the mixing ratio greater than 0.05 g kg−1 is darkly shaded.
