We present here a test of convection uncertainty
within a single model framework driven by the same meteorological fields. Our
primary goal is to explore to what extent do convection schemes impact atmospheric
CO2 distribution, by testing three referred cloud convection schemes
ranging from a very simple to a relatively complex form [Table 1]. Our second
goal is to examine the sensitivity of atmospheric CO2 to its
regional emission/sink uncertainty [Fig. 1] constrained by IPCC 2001 at a “fixed”
convection scheme to clarify the pros and cons of the convection schemes.
