ASTEX 1st Lagrangian experiment
1-D version of the MIUU mesoscale model
• Hydrostatic pressure• Prescribed background flow (geostrophic wind)• Surface fluxes (Fairall et al, surface layer similarity and roughness
sub-layer treatment)• Second-order turbulence closure (Mellor-Yamada type with
prognostic TKE)• Subgrid-scale condesation• Short and long-wave radiation (Fu&Liou, delta four-stream and
correlated k-distribution)• A simplified algorithm for prognostic drizzle water
• conversion of cloud water to drizzle • collection of cloud drops by raindrops• fall-out of rain drops• evaporation of rain drops in sub-saturated air

Latent heat flux and drizzle rate
![Page 13: Airmass tracked by ballons and forecasts – same airmass revisited with research aircraft](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568164d0550346895dd6fbd3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• SST or subsidence driving the change from Sc to Cu?
• Drizzle only a few mm per day does it matter?
• Subsidence very small vertical motions, is it important?
In a model it is possible to pick these pieces apart –
never possible in real life

Vertical velocity at PBL topHIRLAM simulation
EUCLIPSE/GCSS Meeting, 29-30 September 2010 Sigg and Svensson, 2004
Oscillations are due to inertia-gravity waves that propagate from the non-elliptic areas where gradient-wind balance cannot be maintained.
