Improved MJO‐simulation in ECHAM6.3 by coupling a Stochastic Multicloud Model to the convection scheme

Abstract We implement a Stochastic Multicloud Model (SMCM) in an observation‐informed configuration into the convection scheme of the state‐of‐the‐art GCM ECHAM6.3. The SMCM configuration we use here has been tuned to represent observed tropical convection by associating the occurrence and strength...
