A Scale-Aware Representation of Convection in the GEOS Model

Recently updated parameterizations estimating convection and shallow cumulus clouds, along with evolving development of the finite-volume cubed-sphere (FV3) dynamical core, have led to a unique scale-aware capability for the GEOS model. Implementation in the GEOS forecasting system, which runs at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS), is estimated for summer 2019.
