The main references for the model formulation are papers
by Neelin and Zeng [1] and
Zeng, et al. [2].
A summary of the project leading up to the initial QTCM1
formulation may be found in Neelin [7], while
the basis for the analytical approximations for dynamics are
found in Neelin and Yu [8] and
Yu and Neelin [13].
Documentation of the radiation and cloud packages may be found in
Chou and Neelin [5] and Chou [3].
Details for the additional convective closure schemes can be found in
Su et al. [] A partial summary of the model
formulation is provided as Appendix 
.
This chapter summarizes some of the parameterizations used to describe atmospheric physics, as a well as implementation and discussion of the justifications used in calculating key parameters used in QTCM1.
