The following definitions of the ``paper variables'' are given in Neelin and Zeng [1] and Zeng et al. [2]. We present them here as an aid in interpreting the above variable keys.
Parameter definitions:
where is the gross moist stability, and is the dry static energy. Recall that a term has been absorbed into T and that L is subsumed in the terms in the Neelin and Zeng [1] and Zeng et al. [2] equations.
Temperature, moisture, and momentum variable definitions:
Recall that the vertical averaging operator is defined as follows in Neelin and Zeng [1]:
Below are alternative (but equivalent) expressions for a few of the code variables given in the tables in Section :
Some final notes: is the depth of the troposphere (in pressure units), and g is the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface.
