Impact of new ARPEGE physics on RICO case (19-sept-2006) GCSS-GPCI / BLCL-RICO sept 2006 P. Marquet, CNRM. Toulouse. Météo-France. + ARPEGE CLIMATE & N.W.P. team + Meso-Scale CNRM team + ENM (School of Met.) + CERFACS + IPSL-LMD …
Introduction First aim of the study : Run the French Météo-France (CNRM) ARPEGE-CLIMAT SCM for the new RICO_composite (L80 and L31) … Send the results for the inter-comparison : done / Pier … + 4 Impact studies : Test STANDARD versus NEW physics (Turb, Conv, -Phys) ? Test of ( L80 / t = 5 mn ) versus ( L31 / t = 15 mn ) ? Impact of the explicit Top PBL entrainment ? Impact of the (Dry)-thermals ?

And for RICO ? Impact studies : Test STANDARD versus NEW physics : STD versus NEW2 L80 / t = 5 mn ; L31 / t = 15 mn Impact of the explicit Top PBL entrainment : NEW2_noent Impact of the (Dry)-thermals : NEW2_noDTh
RICO L80 / THETA_l NEW2_noent NEW2_noDTh STDNEW2 STD instable ; NEW2 better, But with a drift z>2km ? a –0.5 K bias in the PBL ? a very small impact of « entr. » a large impact of Dry Thermals
RICO L31 / THETA_l NEW2_noent NEW2_noDTh STDNEW2 STD noisy ; NEW2 better, with a smaller drift z>2km ! ? a –0.5 K bias in the PBL ? a greater impact of « entr. » and larger impact of Dry Thermals
RICO L80 / Zonal Wind STD NEW2NEW2_noent NEW2_noDTh STD noisy ; NEW2 better, But why these oscillations ? A small impact of « ent » A greater impact of Dry Thermals
RICO L80 / Cloud Cover NEW2_noent NEW2_noDTh STD NEW2 STD very noisy !! NEW2 better, Cloud Base and Maxi OK, Drift of Cloud top theta ? A small impact of « ent » A large impact of Dry Thermals What about the values of C.C. ??
L80 L31 LES KNMI RICO / Cloud Cover Average 24h - 30h STD very noisy up to 3.5 km !! NEW2 better L80 : from 0.5 to 2.5 km : OK ; the good shape L31 : too deep cloud 0.2 to 4 km !! L31 : Large impact of Top PBL entr. ! What about the values of C.C. ??
RICO / Cloud Content Average 24h - 30h L80 L31 LES KNMI SAME as for CLOUD-COVER… Except that values compare to LES… STD very noisy up to 3.5 km !! NEW2 better L80 : from 0.5 to 2.5 km : OK ; the good shape L31 : too deep cloud 0.2 to 4 km !! L31 : Large impact of Top PBL entr. !

Conclusions Mainly, questions ! … Apart from the (internal) validation of the ARPEGE physics… Why this drift above 2.5 km ? smaller with L31 / t =15 mn : w ? Are the oscillations for (u,v) Wind observed by others ? How to compare Precip & C.C. to LES or Obs. ? => Radiation ! A real interest for this RICO case ! “Composite” -> “Long_Run” ? RICO GPCI & AMMA-CI (next talk)… Continue EUROCS’ method… A deep impact of top-PBL/TURB shallow convection Small for EUROCS- Cu / large for RICO… Precip ?
