Assessing the Grell‐Freitas Convection Parameterization in the NASA GEOS Modeling System

Abstract We implemented and began to evaluate an alternative convection parameterization for the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) general circulation model (GCM). The proposed parameterization follows the mass flux approach with several closures, for equilibrium and nonequilibrium convecti...
