Short summary
In this study the BMJ scheme, a convective adjustment scheme where temperature and humidity are relaxed towards reference profiles, as implemented in the WRF model version 3.3.1, is modified so that the precipitation produced by the model is in better agreement with that observed as given by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 data set. The "modified BMJ" scheme gives a better representation of the observed rainfall for the whole tropics in both winter and summer seasons.
In this study the BMJ scheme, a convective adjustment scheme where temperature and humidity are...
