RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TROPICAL PRECIPITATION AND KINEMATIC CLOUD MODELS

Abstract

The mathematical formulation and associated finite-difference approximations for the numerical model of a precipitating roll cloud are summarized. With that background, the computer program used to perform the computations in experiments simulating moist convection is described in detail. The program description includes discussion of the input requirements, the internal operations, and the output. The newly developed recovery feature of the program is explained. All options, presently available in the program, are described. The detailed description of the computer program is contained in individual flow diagrams of the main program and the 16 subroutines. In the concluding remarks, the present status of the computer program is given. Finally, the anticipated future plans for the program are outlined. (Author)
