A New Paradigm for Parameterizations in Atmospheric Models

Abstract

The use of look-up-tables (LUTs) to represent parameterizations within atmospheric models is presented. We discuss several approaches as to how the use of LUTs can be optimized in order to retain the physical representation of the parameterization, yet be much more computationally efficient than the parent parameterization from which they are derived.
