Bulk - Slab - Integral - Mixed Layer Models Bulk models can be formally obtained by: Making similarity assumption about shape of profile, e.g. Integrate equations from z=0 to z=h Solve rate equations for scaling parameters, and h Mixed layer model of the day-time boundary layer is a well- known example of a bulk model.

Mixed layer (bulk) model of day time BL This set of equations is not closed. A closure assumption is needed for entrainment velocity or for entrainment flux. energy mass inversion entrainment

Closure for mixed layer model Buoyancy flux in inversion scales with production in mixed layer: C E is entrainment constant (0.2) C s represents shear effects (2.5-5) but is often not considered Closure is based on turbulent kinetic energy budget of the mixed layer:

local K closure model: Grid point models 91-level model 31-level model Levels in ECMWF model K-diffusion in analogy with molecular diffusion, but Diffusion coefficients need to be specified as a function of flow characteristics (e.g. shear, stability,length scales).

Diffusion coefficients according to MO-similarity Use relation between and to solve for.

K-closure with local stability dependence (summary) Scheme is simple and easy to implement. Fully consistent with local scaling for stable boundary layer. Realistic mixed layers are simulated (i.e. K is large enough to create a well mixed layer). A sufficient number of levels is needed to resolve the BL i.e. to locate inversion. Entrainment at the top of the boundary layer is not represented (only encroachment)! flux

Parametrization of PBL outer layer Overview of models Bulk models local K-closure K-profile closure TKE closure

K-profile closure Troen and Mahrt (1986) Heat flux h Profile of diffusion coefficients: Find inversion by parcel lifting with T-excess: such that:

K-profile closure (ECMWF up to 2005) Moisture flux Entrainment fluxes Heat flux h ECMWF entrainment formulation: ECMWFTroen/Mahrt C D C E Inversion interaction was too aggressive in original scheme and too much dependent on vertical resolution. Features of ECMWF implementation: No counter gradient terms. Not used for stable boundary layer. Lifting from minimum virtual T. Different constants. Implicit entrainment formulation.

K-profile closure (summary) Scheme is simple and easy to implement. Numerically robust. Scheme simulates realistic mixed layers. Counter-gradient effects can be included (might create numerical problems). Entrainment can be controlled rather easily. A sufficient number of levels is needed to resolve BL e.g. to locate inversion.

Parametrization of PBL outer layer Overview of models Bulk models local K closure K-profile closure TKE closure

TKE closure (1.5 order) Eddy diffusivity approach: With diffusion coefficients related to kinetic energy:

BuoyancyShear productionStorage Closure of TKE equation TKE from prognostic equation: with closure: Main problem is specification of length scales, which are usually a blend of, an asymptotic length scale and a stability related length scale in stable situations. Turbulent transport Dissipation Pressure correlation

TKE (summary) TKE has natural way of representing entrainment. TKE needs more resolution than first order schemes. TKE does not necessarily reproduce MO-similarity. Stable boundary layer may be a problem. Best to implement TKE on half levels.
