Description
A simple formalism for the diagnostic use of the feedback and static control portions of the theory is presented. The relation of the subgrid scale flux forms and the detrainment forms of the large-scale heat and moisture budgets is also discussed.

Description
The net influence of sub-grid or smaller unresolvable scale processes (which cannot be directly detected from conventional observations) on the tangential momentum field in tropical cyclones has been calculated as a residual from the grid-scale momentum budgets of sixteen rawinsonde composite data sets.

Description
Results of several cloud simulations under different environmental and initial conditions are presented. These illustrate the capability of the model in simulating the entire life-cycle of cumulus clouds subject to different forcing conditions.

Description
Two well documented cases of tradewind disturbances are studied. One disturbance developed into Hurricane Carla (1961) while the other failed to intensify. Initially the two cases appeared to be very similar but on closer inspection the flow patterns in which the disturbances were embedded proved to have significant differences. This paper describes these differences.

Description
This paper presents a diagnostic study of two models proposed by Betts (1973a). The first was a model for a well-mixed sub-cloud layer capped by a more stable transition layer. The downward heat flux at the base of this transition layer is here estimated from the thermal structure of the layer to be 15-25% of the surface sensible heat flux. The second model was a model for a two layer lapse-rate structure for the cumulus layer. A sensitivity analysis...
