Convective Precipitation

Considerations regarding model convective precipitation

In the current configuration of the convection scheme any showers that are developed are considered to remain within the model grid box column, with precipitation, of whatever type, always falling vertically downwards. These and other aspects have consequences when forecasting shower activity.

...

Note: ECMWF output consists of the most unstable convective available potential energy (MUCAPE) and the associated convective inhibition to release this (MUCIN) and ancillary derived products (MUCAPE-shear).
