Simulation of low clouds in the Southeast Pacific by the NCEP GFS: sensitivity to vertical mixing
The NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS) model has an important systematic error shared by many other models: stratocumuli are missed over the subtropical eastern oceans. It is shown that this error can be alleviated in the GFS by introducing a consideration of the low-level inversion and making two mo...
