Description

Provide a clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

  1. Cumulus convection
    a) More strict convection trigger
    b) Reduced entrainment rate below cloud base
    c) Enhanced downdraft detrainments starting from 60mb above the ground surface
    d) Reduced rain evaporation
    e) Modification of cloud depth separating shallow convection from deep convection

  2. PBL and surface layer
    a) Inclusion of wind shear effect reducing characteristic mixing length
    b) Reduction of background diffusivity in the inversion layers as a function of surface roughness and green vegetation fraction
    c) PBL updraft overshooting limited by bulk Richardson number-based-PBL depth
    d) Inclusion of new canopy heat storage parameterization
    e) Modification of thermal roughness calculation over land
    f) Increase of momentum roughness length over sea
    g) Inclusion of sea spray effect parameterization

The verification results for the physics updates above can be found in https://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/gmb/jhan/vsdbw/ccaa14
More detailed description for the updates and ccaa14 results are given in the attached ppt file.

Verification results for additional physics updates are in:

  1. Increased sea spray effects: https://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/gmb/jhan/vsdbw/ccaa27
  2. Inclusion of new maximum z/L parameterization in the GFS surface layer scheme:

    Summer: https://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/gmb/jhan/vsdbw/ccaa41x

The final update is based on 'ccaa41'

pjpegion pushed a commit to NOAA-PSL/ufs-weather-model that referenced this issue Apr 4, 2023
…th the Thompson microphysics scheme (ufs-community#588)

* version worked for producing nifa and nwfa

* added mraerosol in typedef

* use ltaersol=.true. and merra2

* Add consistency check for Thompson aerosol options to GFS_typedefs.F90

* using field table instead of code change for mraerosol

* Updates and bug fixes for Thompson-Merra2
