Re: microphysics within CMMAP

Wojetek,

For the deep and shallow convection theme, one microphysical issue is how
to represent SGS microphysics in the MMF with a 4-km horiz grid size.
Anning Cheng discussed some approaches to this with Hugh and me at the Feb
meeting.

Chin-Hoh and Steve,

I wonder if we need to discuss where the cloud microphysics (currently
only Hugh and myself I think) should be included/listed/reported in
CMMAP. I think it belongs to your focus group. Should we talk about
this next week? I hope you are NOT scheduled to meet on Tuesday and I
will only be in FC on Wednesday and Thursday (I have not looked at the
agenda yet). But Hugh will be there, so perhaps you can talk about this
with him if the focus group meeting is slotted for Tuesday...

What do you think?

Cheers,

Wojtek.

Vince Larson will be applying his Latin hypercube method (JAS 2005) to
Vaughan Philips' microphysics in SAM within the next year or so.

Steve,

I am attaching a paper (which we are starting to revise following
the review requesting minor revisins) describing a novel approach to
ice microphysics that Hugh and myself put together last spring. It is
significantly simpler and physically-based, which is not entirely the
case for tradiational approaches that separate the ice field into cloud
ice, snow, and graupel (Vaughan's microphysics falls into the latter
category)...

Happy reading.
