Convection - novelties in 3MT
Luc Gerard: Unsaturated downdraft in ALARO-1
Luc Gerard: Geometrical aspects of sub-grid convective condensation and precipitation (CSU concept, closure, time evolution)
Luc Gerard: CSU and convergence towards the 'all-resolved' solution (triggering, academic example studies; open questions; conclusions, planning)

Moist physics

Jean-Francois Geleyn: Unifying perspectives in interfacing, diffusion, precipitations and cloud-cover
 

Laura Rontu: HARMONIE physics plans
Piet Termonia: Working group discussion
Neva Pristov: LACE physics plans


Outcomes, plans, final discussion

First Announcement (April 2012)

The purpose is to present ALARO-1 developments, plans and
to spread knowledge about the ALARO to a wider ALADIN/LACE/HARMONIE community.

Tentative program:

•   Generalities
  •     introduction, an overview
  •     evaluation of ALARO-0 (local experiences, reporting the current implementations,...)
•   ALARO-1 overview of current developments
  •     TOUCANS moist turbulence and diffusive transport,
  •     radiation,
  •     precipitations aspects
  •     convection: novelties in 3MT
•   Discussion
  •     current status, open questions/problems, link with SURFEX, definition of ALARO-1
  •     future issues

Three part will be roughly split over three days, with some flexibility.

Schedule:
Starting Wednesday (13 June) morning, closing Friday (19 Feb) noon.
Detailed program will be provided later.

Please, confirm your participation to Neva (neva.pristov_at_rzs-hm.si) and Piet (termonia_at_meteo.be)
(if possible before 25 April) and contact us for any question.
