Representation of tropical deep convection in atmospheric models – Part 1: Meteorology and comparison with satellite observations

Fast convective transport in the tropics can efficiently redistribute water vapour and pollutants up to the upper troposphere. In this study we compare tropical convection characteristics for the year 2005 in a range of atmospheric models, including numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, chemist...
