Statistical cloud scheme
•Determine cloud cover and liquid water using the sub-grid variability:

Go over to one variable:

For a certain PDF, cloud cover and liquid water can be written as a function of just one variable:

How to parameterize variance?
Link it to convection/turbulence schemes using a variance budget:

Very simple: • = (0.02qs)2 (Lenderink)
Simple: •lturb=40 (Siebesma) •lturb=0.2z for z<900 and 180 for z> 900m (Chaboureau & Bechtold)
Less simple (stability dependent):•lturb from moist CBR (implementation Colin Jones)
Even without convective or turbulent activity (free atmosphere)some variance is needed!

Project: Statistical cloud scheme(from simple to complex)
First 1D tests cases (start with BOMEX):
1. Use cloud cover (ac) diagnostically
2. Use ac and ql prognostically
Subsequently 3D
1. Test cases
2. Long time verification

Problems with Hirlam KF convection:
•Intermittent behavior
•Negative buoyant cloud (TV_UPDRAFT < TV_ENVIRONMENT)
•Artificially looking closure for shallow convection
•Mass flux does not decrease (enough) with height
•Results for Bomex are disappointing
•Fundamental problems? (Sander Jonker)
•Code is complex, hard to understand (and slow)

Some of the adaptations to KF:
•Fractional entrainment/detrainment according to Siebesma (2003)
•Vertical velocity equation (Gregory, 2001)
•More simple and physically appealing closure (Grant, 2001)
Good results with convection and statistical cloud scheme for Bomex

Our conclusion: It is not appealing to build further developments on the current Hirlam KF code.
Two alternatives:1. KF from Meso-NH2. Latest ECMWF IFS convection code
Peter Bechtold coded 1 and currently works on 2.His advice: Use 2 (performance, speed, use of AROME iscompatible with 2, synergy, etc.)
=> Implement 2 in Hirlam(1D)
