Deep clouds
 As Méso-NH, Arome is able to simulate correctly the organisation
of mesoscale convective organisation
 Sensitivity to coupling and initial condition
For AROME in 2006
 Use diagnostics to evaluate more objectively and statisticaly
precipitating events
 Adaptation of numerical aspects of the sedimentation
parametrization (time splitting) to longer time steps (> 60s)


Tests on the sensitivity to vertical resolution  Additional
levels to L41 ? (Cobel-Isba with L41 shows degradation)

Evaluation on CAPITOUL and on several international
airports. Run of AROME on Ile-de-France on winter 2005
and in 1D on Casablanca and Varsovie (to be confirmed)

BL clouds : Sc
Preliminary tests in Meso-NH at the resolutions of AROME

Diurnal cycle of Sc is maintained at the resolution of Arome

LWC more sensitive to lower z than lower x

Main impact of z at the top of Sc (entrainment) than beneath
For Arome , second part of 2006

Sensitivity tests on vertical resolution for cloud-top
entrainmentAdditional levels to L41?

Interest of an entrainment parametrization (Lock, 2001, 2004. ARPEGEClimat).

Too unstable
1.
The K-diffusion doesn’t take into account countergradient.
2.
Entrainment is not treated explicitly in the K-diffusion approach.
3.
But diffusion remains necessary, for transition to neutral or stable BL.

TOMs on heat momentum fitted on LES already implemented in
Meso-NH  evaluation of the impact for AROME on CBL (needs
of evaluation on test cases, impact on unreal rolls ?)
2. EDMF scheme : evaluation of the impact in Meso-NH during the
1st sem.2006 (In collaboration with P.Soares)
3. Comparison EDMF/TOMS on the same cases
Under development in Meso-NH (2006-2008)
1.
Improvement of EDMF scheme : entrainment, extension to momentum
transport (In collaboration with P.Soares in 2006)
2. Parametrization of TOMs with an entraining plume used to find the
mass-flux.
32
3. Improvement of the BL89 mixing length in the same way (V.Masson)
Summary
• An Arome daily prototype has been running for 6
months (without any blow up)
• Some good forcasts and some less good (but only
qualitative and episodic validation)
• Some imperative improvement have to be done
quickly on the physics before more serious
validation
– Shallow convection and subgrid clouds
– Fog dissipation
• Numerical improvement : SL sedimentation
• Other preoccupations : Sc, Dry BL etc
