How well can we represent the spectrum of convective clouds in a climate model? Comparisons between internal parameterization variables and radar observations

Current climate models cannot resolve individual convective clouds and hence parameterizations are needed. The primary goal of convective parameterization is to represent the bulk impact of convection on the gridbox-scale variables. Spectral convective parameterizations also aim to represent the ke...
