Download or read book Parameterization Schemes written by David J. Stensrud and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-12-03 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical weather prediction models play an increasingly important role in meteorology, both in short- and medium-range forecasting and global climate change studies. The most important components of any numerical weather prediction model are the subgrid-scale parameterization schemes, and the analysis and understanding of these schemes is a key aspect of numerical weather prediction. This book provides in-depth explorations of the most commonly used types of parameterization schemes that influence both short-range weather forecasts and global climate models. Several parameterizations are summarised and compared, followed by a discussion of their limitations. Review questions at the end of each chapter enable readers to monitor their understanding of the topics covered, and solutions are available to instructors at www.cambridge.org/9780521865401. This will be an essential reference for academic researchers, meteorologists, weather forecasters, and graduate students interested in numerical weather prediction and its use in weather forecasting.

Download or read book Current Trends in the Representation of Physical Processes in Weather and Climate Models written by David A. Randall and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the development of physical parameterization over the last 2 to 3 decades and provides a roadmap for its future development. It covers important physical processes: convection, clouds, radiation, land-surface, and the orographic effect. The improvement of numerical models for predicting weather and climate at a variety of places and times has progressed globally. However, there are still several challenging areas, which need to be addressed with a better understanding of physical processes based on observations, and to subsequently be taken into account by means of improved parameterization. And this is all the more important since models are increasingly being used at higher horizontal and vertical resolutions. Encouraging debate on the cloud-resolving approach or the hybrid approach with parameterized convection and grid-scale cloud microphysics and its impact on models’ intrinsic predictability, the book offers a motivating reference guide for all researchers whose work involves physical parameterization problems and numerical models.

Download or read book Parameterization Of Atmospheric Convection In 2 Volumes written by Robert S Plant and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 1169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precipitating atmospheric convection is fundamental to the Earth's weather and climate. It plays a leading role in the heat, moisture and momentum budgets. Appropriate modelling of convection is thus a prerequisite for reliable numerical weather prediction and climate modelling. The current standard approach is to represent it by subgrid-scale convection parameterization.Parameterization of Atmospheric Convection provides, for the first time, a comprehensive presentation of this important topic. The two-volume set equips readers with a firm grasp of the wide range of important issues, and thorough coverage is given of both the theoretical and practical aspects. This makes the parameterization problem accessible to a wider range of scientists than before. At the same time, by providing a solid bottom-up presentation of convection parameterization, this set is the definitive reference point for atmospheric scientists and modellers working on such problems.Volume 1 of this two-volume set focuses on the basic principles: introductions to atmospheric convection and tropical dynamics, explanations and discussions of key parameterization concepts, and a thorough and critical exploration of the mass-flux parameterization framework, which underlies the methods currently used in almost all operational models and at major climate modelling centres. Volume 2 focuses on the practice, which also leads to some more advanced fundamental issues. It includes: perspectives on operational implementations and model performance, tailored verification approaches, the role and representation of cloud microphysics, alternative parameterization approaches, stochasticity, criticality, and symmetry constraints.

Book excerpt: Uncertainties in Numerical Weather Prediction is a comprehensive work on the most current understandings of uncertainties and predictability in numerical simulations of the atmosphere. It provides general knowledge on all aspects of uncertainties in the weather prediction models in a single, easy to use reference. The book illustrates particular uncertainties in observations and data assimilation, as well as the errors associated with numerical integration methods. Stochastic methods in parameterization of subgrid processes are also assessed, as are uncertainties associated with surface-atmosphere exchange, orographic flows and processes in the atmospheric boundary layer. Through a better understanding of the uncertainties to watch for, readers will be able to produce more precise and accurate forecasts. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to improve the accuracy of weather and climate forecasting and interested parties developing tools to enhance the quality of such forecasts. Provides a comprehensive overview of the state of numerical weather prediction at spatial scales, from hundreds of meters, to thousands of kilometers Focuses on short-term 1-15 day atmospheric predictions, with some coverage appropriate for longer-term forecasts Includes references to climate prediction models to allow applications of these techniques for climate simulations
Download or read book Data driven Cloud Cover Parameterizations for the ICON Earth System Model Using Deep Learning and Symbolic Regression written by Arthur Grundner and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis delves into the improvement of cloud parameterizations in climate models through machine learning trained on coarse-grained output from high-resolution simulations. Utilizing the ICOsahedral Non-hydrostatic (ICON) modeling framework, it specifically targets the enhancement of cloud cover parameterization within the ICON Earth System Model. Three types of neural networks (NNs) differing in vertical locality are developed to estimate cloud cover, with globally trained NNs even applicable to distinct regional simulations. Interpretability analysis exposes model-specific biases and local relationships with the thermodynamic environment. Despite achieving high predictive performance, NNs necessitate post-hoc interpretation tools. To tackle this issue, a combined hierarchical modeling framework incorporating symbolic regression, feature selection, and physical constraints is proposed. The resulting equations, characterized by simplicity and physical consistency, attain performance comparable to NNs while demonstrating superior transferability to other realistic datasets. Our best equation adeptly captures cloud cover distributions across various regimes, notably excelling in representing marine stratocumulus clouds by learning to utilize the vertical relative humidity gradient. This research underscores the potential of deep learning in achieving accurate cloud parameterizations and emphasizes the effective role of symbolic regression in deriving interpretable, consistent equations for cloud cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storm and Cloud Dynamics focuses on the dynamics of clouds and of precipitating mesoscale meteorological systems. Clouds and precipitating mesoscale systems represent some of the most important and scientifically exciting weather systems in the world. These are the systems that produce torrential rains, severe winds including downburst and tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning, and major snow storms. Forecasting such storms represents a major challenge since they are too small to be adequately resolved by conventional observing networks and numerical prediction models. Provides a complete treatment of clouds integrating the analysis of air motions with cloud structure, microphysics, and precipitation mechanics Describes and explains the basic types of clouds and cloud systems that occur in the atmosphere-fog, stratus, stratocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, cirrus, thunderstorms, tornadoes, waterspouts, orographically induced clouds, mesoscale convection complexes, hurricanes, fronts, and extratropical cyclones Summarizes the fundamentals, both observational and theoretical, of atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamics, cloud microphysics, and radar meteorology, allowing each type of cloud to be examined in depth Integrates the latest field observations, numerical model simulations, and theory Supplies a theoretical treatment suitable for the advanced undergraduate or graduate level, as well as post-graduate
Download or read book Improved Representations of Cloud Scale Processes in Meteorological Forecast Models written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The functional relationship between cloud cover and relative humidity (Rh) averaged over areas comparable to grid dimensions of numerical weather models was quantified using RTNEPH and 3DNEFH observations. Cloud cover in any atmospheric level decreases exponentially as layer averaged Rh tails below 100%, and no observations support critical Rhs below which cloud cover is zero. Small cloud amounts occur at all Rhs. Therefore, current weather models probably underestimate cloud coverage, especially at Rhs below the critical humidities used by most models. At the same Rh, convection enhances cloud coverage in the upper troposphere. and decreases cloud coverage in the lower troposphere. Developed a simplified and innovative mass flux convective parameterization that was evaluated using atmospheric radon profiles, and was also used to simulate the redistribution of heat and moisture by combining the approach of stochastic mixing with detraining plumes. A public domain cloud resolving model (ARPS) was used to further refine the 1-D parameterization. Both the cloud resolving models and the convective parameterization were evaluated using GATE observations. However the ARPS model employs an advection algorithm that does not conserve water mass, making it unreliable to use for refining cloud parameterizations.
