We can expect labs that understand the RDC scheme from the beginning to conduct smooth, collaborative research with us. We will prioritize them for preferential treatment. Conversely, labs that grasp the RDC scheme more slowly will require us to expend significant effort on explanations. We will evaluate each lab's understanding of the RDC scheme based on when they CONTACT us, not when contracts are signed. We recommend contacting us as early as possible, even before making a formal contract decision.

[NOTE] 2025/11/14
Currently, we only have two researchers, but both of them have been involved in developing the RDC scheme and have a thorough understanding of it. We will provide THE FIRST COUPLE OF COLLABORATORS with maximum support at minimal cost. As access to our websites increases daily, the number of RDC scheme users may grow. However, if the number of users increases, our researchers alone will be unable to handle the demand. In that case, we would need to hire additional researchers from our network, which would substantially increase fees. To receive high-quality support at a low cost, we recommend joining us immediately.
As a company sincerely aiming to successfully implement the RDC scheme, we hope to collaborate initially with two or three institutions. Relying on just one institution risks overdependence on that model, while too many institutions may make it difficult to provide sufficient support.

Preface

Thank you very much for your interest in the RDC scheme. It has been more than two years and a half since we published our website about the RDC scheme. Before we launched the website, few people were aware of RDC. But thanks to the current interest of many people in RDC, thousands of people have visited the websites of our company and product, downloaded our original papers, and viewed the tweets/posts of our company and product. A Google search using the keywords “global warming”, “water vapor feedback”, and “cumulus parameterization” has brought the main page of our RDC scheme to the top of the list for over a year. At the very least, we hope, there is now probably no researcher in the field who has never heard of the RDC scheme. The first step in our attempt to spread the RDC theory/scheme seems to have gone well. And most importantly, not only have we not found any inconsistencies in the RDC scheme ourselves, but no one in the world has told us that it is wrong. Our belief that the RDC scheme is the only way to describe cumulus detrainment flow has not wavered at all. We are confident in the RDC scheme.

Please do not underestimate RDC as just one issue among many warming studies. It is the basis of a warming mechanism that produces a strong positive water vapor feedback that can explain the observed current accelerated global warming which is surprising people. The RDC scheme is the only way to represent the detrainment flows from the cumulus clouds. It is impossible to express the RDC scheme, which is a boundary value problem, in terms of a combination of dynamics, which is a time evolution problem. In other words, the RDC scheme is the most likely candidate to replace the DD method, which currently seems unsuccessful and which we have shown to be physically flawed ; the DD method violates the second law of thermodynamics by failing to account for the properties of turbulent flow of the cumulus convection. Above all, if RDC did not exist, the atmosphere would not be able to maintain its equilibrium state. The RDC scheme has already been validated by theory and by 2D atmospheric model results. There is no reason why it should not work in a 3D atmosphere. If the RDC scheme has demonstrated the transport around cumulus clouds in a 3D atmosphere, we can put an end to the cumulus parameterization problem that has remained unsolved for half a century. The RDC scheme is not only low risk, but also very ambitious and promising.

We invite you to examine the RDC scheme described on our website. The RDC scheme is not a dogmatic theory of our own. You can easily check the validity of the RDC scheme in your own 3D atmospheric model without modifying the code by calculating the right-hand side of Eq. (8') from the output data averaged over 10 hours. If our reasoning is correct, our contract can do more for your lab than hiring ten DD researchers. Our goal now is to show people the effectiveness of RDC in transport around cumulus clouds in a real-time 3D atmosphere and move forward with the RDC research, which is silent for now. To achieve this goal, we will be flexible and do our best to help you with your RDC analysis and implementation. Please contact us as soon as possible. You could be the first in the world to report an RDC implementation in a real-time 3D atmospheric model. Let's break through to get climate prediction right!

If you wish to participate in RDC research but do not have sufficient funds, or facing timing issues with the fiscal year, we will make special consideration for you. And if you're understaffed for the RDC scheme analysis and implementation, we will be able to directly get involved in the implemention work. Since we are the original and have experience in building and analyzing numerical models, we will build the model, analyze the results, and implement the RDC scheme in it.

Policies/Guidelines for the Standard RDC Scheme License Agreement

Below is a rough sketch of the policies/guidelines for the standard RDC scheme contract. To emphasize flexibility for initial users, only the minimum items are listed and the specific fee amounts are not listed in this new version. All items, including those not listed here and the specific fee amounts, will be determined through sufficient negotiations with each user.

User Rights
During the term of this Agreement, the user may quote, implement and operate the RDC Scheme for non-commercial purposes. However, the content must be unique to the user and use of the RDC Scheme itself as a principal is not permitted. And of course, the copyrights of the original authors must be respected.

Contract Unit
A contract is an annual subscription to an Organization. An Organization can include multiple sub-organizations (Laboratories, etc.), but all of the sub-organizations must belong to the same accounting unit and must jointly implement and use the RDC scheme.

Contract ID
Each contract Organization is assigned a contract ID. All external presentations and publications must include the contract ID along with the fact that the RDC scheme, a product of Kaleidoscheme OÜ, was used.

License Fee
The contract is an annual subscription. The contract fee is negotiated and decided at the time of the initial contract.

Use of Variants and Subtechnologies of the RDC Scheme
When using any variants or subtechnologies of the RDC scheme, the user must be in the RDC scheme license agreement with Kaleidoscheme for use of the original RDC Scheme. The developers and implementors of the variants and subtechnologies must explain this in advance to the third party who will be using them.

Early subscribers will receive unlimited support at no additional cost until their RDC scheme implementation is completed.

We can offer significantly lower usage fees for one-time citations of the RDC scheme only in presentations and publications than for the standard contracts.

All items, including those not listed here and the specific fee amounts, will be determined through sufficient negotiations with each user.
We will offer more favorable contract terms to those who contact us early.

In order to advance RDC research for accurate global warming predictions, we would greatly appreciate it if you would consider collaborating with us. Just contact us and we can get started. Thank you very much.
