Abstract

In this chapter, precipitation equations are applied to the analysis of tropical rainfall event in Experiment COARE. Roles of large-scale forcing, thermodynamics, and cloud microphysics in tropical precipitation processes are discussed through the partitioning analysis of model domain mean simulation data based on water-vapor-related surface rainfall budget in Sect. 3.1 (Shen et al. 2010a). Precipitation and cloud statistics in deep tropical convective regimes are investigated through the partitioning analysis of grid-scale simulation data based on water-vapor-related surface rainfall budget in Sect. 3.2 (Shen et al. 2010b). Responses of tropical convective precipitation systems and their associated convective and stratiform regions to the large-scale forcing are examined in Sect. 3.3 (Gao and Li 2008). Effects of time-dependent large-scale forcing (LSF), solar zenith angle (SZA), and SST on time-mean tropical rainfall processes are analyzed in Sect. 3.4 (Gao and Li 2010a). Diurnal variations of tropical rainfall and associated processes are studied in Sect. 3.5 (Gao and Li 2010b).
