turbulence closure schemes in the LMdiagnostic scheme prognostic scheme • closure order 1.5 with prog. TKE • ‘level 2’ (Mellor & Yamada, 1982) • more terms • vertical diffusion of TKE • expanded solution under stable conditions • additional item: circulation term with • modified procedure after Müller (1981) solutions in terms of Mellor, G.

summary • LM is able to simulate complex flow structures in tundra region • different reaction to variations of closure length • mean quantities: accurate for diagnostic scheme, some disadvantages in the lowest 100 m AGL • turbulent quantities: clear advantage of the prognostic scheme • no pattern length scale in the investigated SBL • closure length has to be adapted to the SBL • turbulent fluxes: • max. ; mean o.k. • successful simulation of a hydraulic jump
