A scheme of moist convective adjustment

Kurihara, Y., 1973: A scheme of moist convective adjustment. Monthly Weather Review, 101 (7), 547-553.
Abstract: A new method of moist convective adjustment is presented. A large-scale state of the atmosphere is assumed to be in a thermodynamically critical condition when a hypothetical cloud element can develop. As a result of the convective adjustment, the atmosphere is altered to a new state that is marginal or unfavorable to the occurrence of a free moist convection. The numerical scheme of the adjustment is described in detail.
