  5. Aim(s) of WP 5.6.2 • Already done: Establish first WP in WP5 (“Verification and Case Studies”) concerning case studies … • As soon as possible: Try to bring WG5 results closer to theneeds of WG3 (as well as WGs 1 & 2), i.e., get some (WG3-independant) results based on conditional verifications of test cases, test periods, and operational model suites. • Christmas 2006 (?): Provide a common and easy-to-use tool that allows WG 1-3 members to do conditional verifications themselves --- the tool should ideally be provided, maintained, and used by WG5. • a first attempt to WP 5.6.2: a simple (sensitivity-) experiment … Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  6. TKE scheme: operational verification results (1) LM: model has a cold bias in the PBL Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  7. TKE scheme: operational verification results (2) LM: model has a cold bias in the PBL Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  8. Experiments at ECMWF: exp001 & exp002 (1) • A cold (and moist) model bias first of all is a hint for too much evaporation in the model. In this case, for cloud free conditions, the model would tend to systematically have too small heating rates within the boundary layer during day time, connected with too much moistening. • On the other hand, during winter there is only little forcing of the boundary layer during day time and cooling during the night may be more important. Thus, a too cold boundary layer may also be a hint for too strong heat fluxes during the night from the atmosphere towards the soil. In this case the model would tend to have too strong cooling rates during clear sky night conditions. Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  9. Experiments at ECMWF: exp001 & exp002 (2) • Large domain (461 x 389) encompassing most of Europe • IBCs and LBCs from ECMWF analyses • LM version 3.12, 7 km mesh size, 45 vertical levels • Exp001: most namelist parameters identical to operational setting at DWD • Exp002: same as exp001 except for pat_len = 0. and ztk_hmin = ztk_mmin = 0. (see below) • 72 hours forecast starting 12 Dec 2004 00 UTC • High pressure system (SLP and 500 hPa) over central Europe; fairly stable stratification for large parts of the domain, some low level clouds over northern Europe • Full model level output (GRIB) stored on ECFS at ECMWF; extraction of data with fieldextra Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  10. Experiments at ECMWF: exp001 & exp002 (3) Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  11. Experiments at ECMWF: exp001 & exp002 (4) • It should be possible to check both possibilities (see above) by comparing the evolution of boundary layer profiles(‘diurnal cycle’) of temperature and specific humidity (dew point temperature) in exp001 with those of the corresponding analysis (or with observations directly). • Exp002 is a run with decreased vertical mixing during stable conditions (pat_len = 0. (instead of 500.) switches off the circulation term in the prognostic TKE equation; additionally, ztk_hmin = ztk_mmin = 0. (instead of 1.) sets the minimal diffusion coefficients for scalars (heat, moisture) and momentum to zero). Assuming that too much mixing during the night plays an important role, exp002 should have a reduced cold bias. Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  12. Experiments at ECMWF: exp001 & exp002 (5) • Conditional verification: • look for cloud free situations (at least low and mid-level clouds; obs & model) • look for a stably stratified PBL (obs & model) • possibly compare the above with 'opposite' situations (i.e., cloudy situations, unstably stratified PBL) This would allow to see whether there is too much vertical exchange/diffusion in case of a stably stratified PBL (and with a correctly forecasted cloud cover). • Additionally, differences over land/sea would also be interesting (the amount of low level clouds over sea may be a potential problem in exp002).

  18. Discussion Discussion of results … … and: • Who should run the test cases, WGs 1-3 or WG5? (all) • Test cases for WP 5.6.2: defined by WGs 1-3 or WG5 (or both)? (all) • What can be improved? – First experience from WG5 members … (all) • What could be the next (WG3) candidates for WP 5.6.2? (Arpagaus) • … Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  19. Who should run the test cases? • WGs 1-3: • To be sure that the correct model version and namelists are used (PK, FS) • To be sure that everyone looks at the same data • WG 5 members individually: • To be sure to have the right model output (MM) • To be sure that the cases are of interest to the WG5 member (CM)  WG3 favours the 2nd option. Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  20. Test cases: defined by WGs 1-3 or WG5? • WGs 1-3: • Because a heavy precipitation case may not be very suitable to test clear-sky radiation issues … • WG 5: • To be sure that the cases are of interest to the WG5 member (CM) • ‘smallest common multiple’ - run some cases defined by WGs 1-3 and some more of particular interest to WG5: members • More work … • ‘largest common divider’ - run the cases WGs 1-3 select from the WG5-defined list: • There may be none … Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  21. What can be improved? First experience from WG5 members … Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen

  22. The next candidates for WP 5.6.2? • WG3: • another sensitivity-experiment for the TKE scheme (?) • 3d turbulence (WP 3.9.2; 2.8km mesh size) • Kain-Fritsch scheme (WP 3.3.1) • WGs 1 & 2: ??? Marco.Arpagaus@MeteoSwiss.ch WG3-WG5 workshop, 9.3.2005, Langen
