A21D:
Large-Eddy and High-Resolution Simulations for Improved Understanding and Parameterization of Clouds and Boundary Layer Processes II Posters
Session ID#: 8579
Session Description:
Large-eddy simulations (LES) and high-resolution cloud-resolving models, i.e., limited-area models (LAM), are increasingly used to understand atmospheric processes with the goal of improving climate and weather model parameterizations. Early approaches used idealized scenarios, but the use of real-world configurations is becoming more common and offers great potential. The jump from idealized to realistic configurations brings with it many complicating factors and questions regarding how to best use simulations to develop robust parameterizations. Contributions are sought demonstrating novel approaches using real-world LES and LAM simulations for parameterization development and improving process-level understanding. Also of interest are contributions demonstrating how to overcome difficulties running real-world, ultra-high-resolution configurations, e.g., how best to incorporate observations to constrain the simulation through data assimilation or other techniques, include surface heterogeneity, initialize the model when clouds are present, evaluate the forcing and simulation accuracies, and increase the odds of successful simulations across a range of meteorological conditions.
