Earth atmosphere experiment

Overview

An experiment with climatological boundary condition and forcing.

Model

  • A following option is given at compilation
    • -DSLTT2D1DMONOTONIC

Setting and results

  • Setting
    • Primive eqaution system
    • Semi-Lagrangian transport of water vapor and cloud water and ice
    • Radiation model for the Earth's atmosphere
    • Turbulent mixing (Mellor and Yamada (1982) level 2.5)
    • Surface flux (Beljaars and Holtslag, 1991)
    • Simple land model (bucket model, subsurface heat conduction)
    • Relaxed Arakawa-Schubert cumulus parameterization (Moorthi and Suarez, 1992) with including ice phase
    • Non convective condensation (Le Treut and Li, 1991) with including ice phase
    • Convective adjustment (e.g., Manabe et al., 1965)
    • Simple cloud model (turbulent mixing, production by condensation, loss with constant lifetime, evaporation)
    • Gravity wave drag
