Miyakoda, K., and J. Sirutis, 1989: A proposal of moist turbulence closure scheme, and the rationalization of
Arakawa-Schubert cumulus parameterization. Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, 40, 110-122.
Abstract: Subgrid-scale parameterizations related to moist process are discussed.
In the first half of the paper, a turbulence closure scheme, including the
effect of condensation, is proposed. In this parameterization, the subgrid-scale
transfer is limited within a single vertical layer of a model per each time
step, and the specification of condensation is of yes-or-no type. Therefore,
the scheme is suited for a mesoscale circulation model.
In the second half of this paper, the bounded derivative method of Kreiss
(1980) is applied to the formulation of parameterizations. One example is
the derivation of various hierarchial versions in turbulence closure schemes,
such as Mellor and Yamada (1974). Another example is an interpretation of
the key assumption in Arakawa-Schubert (1974) theory of cumulus convection,
i.e., the equilibrium of "cloud-work function".
