  1. Meso-NH model A research model, jointly developped by Meteo-France and Laboratoire d’Aérologie (CNRS/UPS) 30 users laboratories http://www.aero.obs-mip.fr/mesonh

  2. Examples of Applications of Meso-NH • General description of Meso-NH, Grid nesting • Clouds representation (explicit) : convective events, Sc, Fog, cyclones • Diagnostics • Coupling with the surface • Coupling with other models (hydrology, dispersion) • Climatology • The physics of Meso-NH in AROME • Ways of improvements of Meso-NH

  3. General description of Meso-NH • Anelastic equations with the pseudo-incompressible system of Durran • Vertical coordinate following the terrain : (Gal Chen and Sommerville, 1975) • Temporal discretization : Purely explicit leap-frog scheme • Advection scheme : 2nd order and 4th order eulerian schemes • Spatial discretization : Arakawa C grid • Grid nesting : One-way/Two-way • Initial fields and LBC (radiative open) from ECMWF/ARPEGE/ALADIN. DYNAMICS • Turbulence : 1.5 order closure Cuxart-Bougeault-Redelsperger (2000) • Convection : Kain-Fritsch (1993) revised by Bechtold et al. (2001) • Microphysical scheme : Bulk schemes at 1-moment or 2-moments. Up to 7 prognostic species: vapor (rv), cloud (rc), rain (rr), pristine ice (ri), snow (rs), graupel (rg), hail (rh) • Radiation : ECMWF package • Chemical on-line scheme : Gazeous and aerosols (Presentation C.Mari, Thursday) • Externalized surface model(Presentation P.Le Moigne, this afternoon) PHYSICS

  4. Types of simulations • A broad range of resolution from synoptic scales (Dx~10km) to meso-scale (Dx~1km) to Large Eddy Simulation (Dx~10m) • Real cases (from ECMWF, ARPEGE, ALADIN analyses or forecasts) • Ideal cases  unrealistic cases • - Academic cases (validation of the dynamics) • - Basic studies (Diurnal cycle …) : Cloud Resolving Model (CRM) • - To reproduce an observed reality (via forcings) • (intercomparison : GCSS, EUROCS …) • Simulations 3D, 2D, 1D

  5. Grid nesting technics At every time step : The Coarse Model (CM) gives the lateral boundary conditions to Fine Model (FM) by interpolation One-way : the FM doesn’t influence the CM Two-way : CM fields are relaxed to the average of FM fields (all variables except TKE) A single constraint : an integer ratio between the resolutions and the time steps Same vertical grids.
