Abstract

ABSTACT. Three numerical experiments are carried out to study the sensitivity of the convective rain fall to the adjustment parameters used in the Betts-Miller scheme of cumulus convection. The results of the numerical experiments indicate that the convective rainfall has considerable sensitivity to saturation pressure departure value (S) whereas the impact of stability weight (W) on the convective rainfall is marginal. The limiting S values are found to produce drying of the column.
