Simulation of the diurnal cycle of precipitation over the Amazon Basin with GF scheme and the diurnal cycle closure. (A) An example of 5 days forecast of the convective parameterization precipitation rate (mm h−1, averaged over the model domain). (B) The same as (A) but daily averaging also over 15 runs with 120-hour forecast each. The green line shows the diurnal cycle of the downwelling short-wave radiation (W m−2) to spot the local time.
