Evaluation of convection-resolving models using satellite data: The diurnal cycle of summer convection over the Alps

Diurnal moist convection is an important element of summer precipitation over Central Europe and the Alps. It is poorly represented in models using parameterized convection. In this study, we investigate the diurnal cycle of convection during 11 days in June 2007 using the COSMO model. The numerical...
