The quantities shown are tendencies exerted by convection in the physics package, i.e. by nudging towards the nested CRM in the SP-CAM and as diagnosed by conventional parameterization in CAM. The vertical coordinate is normalized pressure, and the land component at the western edge of the transect is identifiable as a blanked out region at the base of the domain.2. Download VIEW (940KB) Video S1 PRECIP.MOV - Animation showing the climatological composite diurnal cycle of precipitation over North America (looped five times) in a multi-scale modeling framework (SP-CAM), a conventional climate model, the Community Atmosphere Model v3.0 (CAM). Also shown are observations (OBS) - a multi-satellite, multi-instrument best estimate of precipitation as observed from orbit (TRMM 3B42).
