A Study of the Interaction of Physical and Numerical Parameterizations with Regard to Moisture Forecasting in a Regional Model of the Atmosphere

Abstract

This is the final report produced under contract F19628-88-C-0072. It summarizes the research performed with STX's Relocatable Limited-Area Model (RLAM) in assessing the necessary ingredients for forecasting moisture. The report describes the experiments involving lateral boundary treatment and physical parameterizations of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and convective systems. It also explains how these interact with the numerical schemes that are available in RLAM and what effects these have on moisture forecasts. (Author). (JD)
