| The MPAS group in MMM/NCAR
is performing an going real-time prediction experiment with
MPAS-Atmosphere. We are producing daily 10 day forecasts
initialized at 00 UTC from the operational GFS analysis using our
standard 15 km mesh. The forecasts are using MPAS V5.3 |
| The 15 km
mesh uses 2,621,442 cells to tile the sphere (i.e. cells on a
horizontal plane), The physics used in these forecasts, taken
from the WRF model, are Surface Layer: (Monin Obukhov): module_sf_sfclay.F as in WRF 3.8.1 PBL: YSU as in WRF 3.8.1 Land Surface Model (NOAH 4-layers): as in WRF 3.3.1. Gravity Wave Drag: YSU gravity wave drag scheme, as in WRF V3.6.1 Convection: new Tiedtke, as in WRFV3.8.1 Microphysics: WSM6: as in WRF 3.8.1 Radiation: RRTMG sw as in WRF 3.4.1; RRTMG lw as in WRF 3.8.1 Ocean Mixed Layer: off |
