Outcomes, plans , final discussion
Annoucement (May 2016)
The purpose is to present ALARO-1 developments, plans, exchange experience and spread knowledge about the ALARO to a wider ALADIN/LACE/HIRLAM community.
About the scope of the working days
- share the experience on ALARO-1vA validation, operational use
- present latest developments ACRANEB2, TOUCANS (shallow convection), CSD, microphysics
- link with SURFEX
- further validation, tuning and scope of ALARO-1
- discuss about plans
Tentative program:
- Generalities
- introduction, an overview
- evaluation of ALARO-1vA (local experiences, reporting the current implementations, ...)
- physics-dynamics interface: redesign of physics interfaces
- coupling with SURFEX
- ALARO-0 performance in climate simulations
- ALARO-1 overview of current developments
- TOUCANS: shallow convection
- radiation: use of prognostic condensates and cloudiness and other novelties
- precipitations aspects (diurnal cycle issues, microphysics)
- deep convection: complementary subgrid drafts; stochastic components
- set-up of the next versions
- radiation + TOUCANS + unsaturated downdraft
- "full" version (radiation + TOUCANS + CSD) implemented in CY43t2
- Discussion
- current status, open questions/problems
- recommended/possible resolutions, GCM tests, MUSC testbed, climate, load/benefits
- future issues (microphysics, ...)
Three parts will be roughly split over three days, with some flexibility.
Schedule:
Starting Monday (12 September) morning, closing Wednesday (14 September) around noon.
Registration:
Please, confirm your participation (better before 1 July 2016) to Luc, Neva (neva.pristov@rzs-hm.si) and in CC Beatrice (Beatrice.Libioulle@meteo.be)
