چکیده

Abstract Accurately representing boundary layer turbulent processes in numerical models is critical to improve tropical cyclone forecasts. A new turbulence kinetic energy (TKE)-based moist eddy-diffusivity mass-flux (EDMF-TKE) planetary scheme has been implemented NOAA’s Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS). This study evaluates EDMF-TKE hurricane conditions based on a recently developed framework using large-eddy simulation (LES). Single-column modeling tests indicate that produces much greater TKE values below 500-m height than LES benchmark runs different high-wind conditions. To these results, two parameters the were modified ensure match between PBL surface-layer parameterizations. Additional improvements made by reducing maximum allowable mixing length 40 m observations, adopting definition of height, nonlocal mass fluxes With modifications, profiles TKE, eddy viscosity, winds compare better with results. Three-dimensional idealized simulations an ensemble HAFS forecasts Michael (2018) consistently show tends produce stronger vortex smaller radius wind original EDMF-TKE, while gale-force unaffected. The code viscosity within compared code, which contributes inflow, especially annulus 1–3 times wind. shows promise forecast skill rapid intensification sheared environments.

Performance of an Eddy Diffusivity–Mass Flux Scheme for Shallow Cumulus Boundary Layers

Comparisons between single-column (SCM) simulations with the total energy–mass flux boundary layer scheme (TEMF) and large-eddy simulations (LES) are shown for four cases from the Gulf of Mexico Atmospheric Composition and Climate Study (GoMACCS) 2006 field experiment in the vicinity of Houston, Texas. The SCM simulations were run with initial soundings and surface forcing identical to those in...

A Modified Flux Vector Splitting Scheme for Flow Analysis in Shock Wave Laminar Boundary Layer Interactions

The present work introduces a modified scheme for the solution of compressible 2-D full Navier-Stokes equations, using Flux Vector Splitting method. As a result of this modification, numerical diffusion is reduced. The computer code which is developed based on this algorithm can be used easily and accurately to analyze complex flow fields with discontinuity in properties, in cases such as shock...

Improvement of the K-profile Model for the Planetary Boundary Layer Based on Large Eddy Simulation Data

Modifications of the widely used K-profile model of the planetary boundary layer (PBL), reported by Troen and Mahrt (TM) in 1986, are proposed and their effects examined by comparison with large eddy simulation (LES) data. The modifications involve three parts. First, the heat flux from the entrainment at the inversion layer is incorporated into the heat and momentum profiles, and it is used to...

Unified Cloud and Mixing Parameterizations of the Marine Boundary Layer: EDMF and PDF-based cloud approaches

The objectives of this project are: i) to develop a unified parameterization for the Marine Boundary Layer (MBL) and ii) to implement and test this parameterization in the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS). This unified MBL parameterization will be based on two main components: (i) the Eddy-Diffusivity Mass-Flux (EDMF) parameterization of boundary layer mixing; and ...
