Description:

In this report an advanced and improved version of the Relaxed Arakawa-Schubert (RASv2) convection parameterization, originally developed by Moorthi and Suarez (1992,hereafter MS92, 1999, hereafter MS99) is presented. MS99 included several important improvements of the original RAS presented in MS92. The cloud model in MS99 accounts for virtual effects of moisture in the buoyancy calculations and includes suspended cloud condensate loading and autoconversion at various levels, producing precipitation as a function of height. The suspended cloud condensate is detrained at the cloud-top. This detrained cloud condensate is the convective source of environmental cloud condensate which is needed for models with prognostic cloud condensate. A simple treatment of the ice phase has also been added.
