Second GABLS experiment CASES-99 data 0ctober 22 – October 24 Gunilla Svensson Department of meteorology, Stockholm university
The case • Kansas US (37.6N, -96.7E) • Flat terrain with z0=0.03m • Constant geostrophic wind ug=3 ms-1, vg=-9 ms -1 • Weak large-scale synoptic divergence after 16LT October 23 • Prescribed surface temperature • Latent heat flux 2.5% of the potential value • Simulation time 60 hours with start at 14LT October 22

What can we learn from this? • Better agreement during day than during night • Surface fluxes and boundary-layer height are overestimated during night • Inter-model spread is increasing with time • Results dependent on resolution ? • ... • Much more analyses is needed
