Eric,
That paper needs to be completely rewritten, with a two column model.
IMHO, the Manabe (and Wetherald) single column convection scheme is a
hack. He sets the maximum lapse rate to 6.5 K/km, but since convection
is inevitable, that is equivalent to setting it equal to the lapse
rate. Thus the lapse rate is a parameter and not a prognostic
variable.
So either I adapt a GCM, or I invent a two column (night and day)
model with an ascending and descending columns. In either case I will
be too busy to get involved in long conversations here :-(
Cheers, Alastair.
