Dynamic sub-grid heterogeneity of convective cloud in a global model: Description and Evaluation of the Convective Cloud Field Model (CCFM) in ECHAM6–HAM2

<p>The Convective Cloud Field Model (CCFM) attempts to address some of the shortcomings of both the commonly-used bulk mass-flux parameterisations, and those using a prescribed spectrum of clouds. By considering the cloud spectrum as a competitive system where cloud types interact through thei...
