Increase the precipitation auto conversion rate - what impact does this have?
Expand title How to change the code (click here to expand…) Edit the source code to increase the auto conversion rate by 20%
File: ifs/phys_ec/sucldp.F90, change:
Code Block line 123: RKCONV=1._JPRB/6000._JPRB ! 1/autoconversion time scale (s)
to:
Code Block line 123: ! RKCONV=1._JPRB/6000._JPRB ! 1/autoconversion time scale (s) line 124: RKCONV=1.2_JPRB/6000._JPRB ! default scaled by 20%: 1/autoconversion time scale (s)
Impact of the improved diurnal cycle of convection. The improved diurnal cycle can be switched on and off in the model using the model namelists.
In this sensitivity experiment, look at the timing of convective and precipitation events.Expand title How to change the representation of diurnal convection (click here to expand...) Namelist block NAMCUMF, parameter RCAPDCYCL
RCAPDCYCL = 2 (default) activates the diurnal cycle using sub-cloud CAPE,
RCAPDCYCL = 1 diurnal cycle using surface sensible heat flux,
RCAPDCYCL = 0 reverts the code to a setting before the diurnal cycle for convection was
implemented
