In atmospheric models, parameterizations are constructed, for example, for deep cumulus convection, stratiform cloud and precipitation processes, subgrid-scale mixing, short- and longwave radiative fluxes, and land-surface interactions (see Pielke 2002, Appendix B for summaries of the parameterizations used by a variety of numerical weather prediction and other atmospheric models). The idea was shared by a number of stratiform base metal specialists around the world (Renfro 1974). The Alamos Gold Phase I drilling program was designed to test projections of identified high-grade structures and associated hanging wall and footwall mineralization, particularly where favorable stratigraphy was projected, offset previous high-grade Kennecott intercepts, and test for lower-grade bulk-tonnage stratiform mineralization. |
