Abstract
There have been many observational studies of moist convection and many attempts to parameterize cumulus convection. However, there have been few of the former which have succeeded in aiding the latter, even though projects like GATE (Global Atmospheric Research Program Atlantic Tropical Experiment) were touted as serving this function.
