Latent Heat Fluxes

The scientific presentations during the morning programme of the workshop have given examples for how cyclogenesis in general and the life cycle of tropical storms in particular are sensitive to temperature dependencies from physical processes, such as convection.

...

Mathinline
\frac{dT}{dt}(\mbox{physics}) = \frac{dT}{dt}(\mbox{convection}) + \frac{dT}{dt}(\mbox{clouds}) + \frac{dT}{dt}(\mbox{radiation})


The contributions from the individual physical tendencies can be output in OpenIFS as an additional diagnostic via the PEXTRA array.

These additional diagnostics have already been set up in this workshop's model experiment.

For reference and to learn how to enable this diagnostic output in OpenIFS please find the documentation here.
