Abstract
A two-level diagnostic baroclinic model is constructed for the purpose of examining the role of latent heat release in the production of vertical motion and rainfall. Incorporated in the model are terrain and frictional inflow effects and a variable level of non-divergence. The computations are carried out on a 300 point standard rectangular grid covering the North American continent. [...]
