Recent Observational Studies have shown that the tropical                  atmosphere is very nearly neutral, rather than unstable, to moist               convection.  But virtually all representations of cumulus                       convection used in general circulation models permit large                      instability to build up and to be released episodically,                        resulting in spurious atmospheric wave modes.  These may                        adversely affect climate simulations by such models.  The PI will               develop a representation of moist convection that does not allow                instability to accumulate and test this against conventional                    schemes in the context of a simple numerical model of the                       equatorial atmosphere, with emphasis on the effects of these                    representations on long-period oscillations in the atmosphere.                       This research may improve climate simulations and                          projections.
