Vertical profiles of the a ω and b cumulus mass flux composite from the GCM with original convection (solid curves) and the GCM with the scale-adaptive convection (dashed curves) for the 100 km (green) and 50 km (red) resolutions, and the GCM with original convection for the 280 km resolution (black). The composite was carried out over the Tropics (0°E–360°E, 30°S–30°N) using the grids in which precipitation and upward vertical motion occur (precipitation >0 and ω 850 < 0)
