Status of NMMB-TC 2014-07-24
HWRF physics to NMMB Following physics schemes well tuned in HWRF have been added to NMMB: GFSPBL scheme GFDL surface layer plus GFDL land surface scheme SAS scheme MESO-SAS scheme Add empirical z0 for hurricane to MYJ surface scheme NMMB has “fer”, “fer_high” mico-physics options, and “gfdl”, “rrtmg” for radiation; those are very similar to HWRF’s.
Use HWRF PHYS through changing options in Namelist turbulence: gfspblhur convection: sashur sfc_layer: gfdl land_surface: gfdlslab Tunable variables can be changed in namelist, default values = currently-used in HWRF RUN_TC=.true. ! true='run hurricane' sas_pgcon sas_shal_pgcon shallow_conv sas_shalconv sas_mass_flux sas_mommix var_ric coef_ric_l coef_ric_s ALPHA SFENTH DISHEAT

NMMB-TC Test runs 27-9-3 domains, 43-level, feedback=0.5 Configuration 01 “Hwrfphys” turbulence: gfshur sfc_layer: gfdl land_surface: gfdlslab convection: sashur microphysics: fer shortwave: gfdl longwave: gfdl Configuration 02 “myj/noah-lsm” turbulence: gfs sfc_layer: myj land_surface: noah convection: sashur microphysics: fer shortwave: gfdl longwave: gfdl
Good case NMMB (red) Intensity very close to HWRF (purple), and even better timing of max Good move, follow the storm
HWRF NMMB Bad case NMMB nests do not move
Future work -nest motion needs improvement -need more tests to evaluate performance of various configurations, find bugs, numerical stability, …. - need full components (e.g., DA + init + nest motion) to test and evaluate results …. - test using spectral gfs data,….
