Diurnal cycle of precipitation from remote sensing‐derived observations and NASA GEOS GCM with the GF scheme including (DC1) or not (DC0) the diurnal cycle of closure. The plots show results for January 2016 monthly averaged results for the subdomains (a) AMAZON1, (b) SEB, (c) AFRICA1, (d) INDC, (e) AUST, and (f) ITCZ1. See Figure 4 for definitions of these subdomains. Observations are shown in dashed lines. Model results are shown regarding total precipitation (GEOS $_$ GF $_$ TT) and only from GF convection parameterization (GEOS $_$ GF $_$ CV), with both using continuous lines. Models results in red and green colors correspond to simulations including or not the diurnal cycle closure, respectively.
