Regional Climate Modeling over the Maritime Continent. Part I: New Parameterization for Convective Cloud Fraction

This paper describes a new method for parameterizing convective cloud fraction that can be used within large-scale climate models, and evaluates the new method using the Regional Climate Model, version 3 (RegCM3), coupled to the land surface scheme Integrated Biosphere Simulator (IBIS). The horizont...
