The Kain–Fritsch Convective Parameterization: An Update
Journal of applied meteorology · 2004 · 5,183 citationsOpen access
Abstract
Numerous modifications to the Kain-Fritsch convective parameterization have been implemented over the last decade.These modifications are described, and the motivating factors for the changes are discussed.Most changes were inspired by feedback from users of the scheme (primarily numerical modelers) and interpreters of the model output (mainly operational forecasters).The specific formulation of the modifications evolved from an effort to produce desired effects in numerical weather prediction while also rendering the scheme more faithful to observations and cloud-resolving modeling studies.
