10 November 2010 IFS cycle 36r4  Selected contents Prognostic rain and snow with more comprehensive cloud microphysics EKF for soil moisture analysis New snow analysis (O-I) Enhancement of all-sky radiance assimilation

11 Slide 11 New prognostic cloud microphysics scheme WATER VAPOUR CLOUD Liquid/Ice PRECIP Rain/Snow Evaporation Autoconversion Evaporation Condensation CLOUD FRACTION Current Cloud Scheme New Cloud Scheme 2 prognostic cloud variables + w.v. Ice/water diagnostic Fn(T) Diagnostic precipitation 5 prognostic cloud variables + water vapour Ice and water now independent More physically based, greater realism Significant change to degrees of freedom Change to water cycle balances in the model More than double the lines of “cloud” code!

12 Slide 12 New prognostic cloud microphysics Representation of mixed phase The most significant change in the new scheme is the improved physical representation of the mixed phase. Current scheme: diagnostic fn(T) split between ice and liquid cloud (a crude approximation of the wide range of values observed in reality). New scheme: wide range of supercooled liquid water for a given T. PDF of liquid water fraction of cloud for the diagnostic mixed phase scheme (dashed line) and the prognostic ice/liquid scheme (shading)

13 Slide 13 A new snow analysis (I) For snow SYNOP reports an satellite based snow cover are assimilated A new 4 km IMS snow cover is assimilated into a new OI analysis replacing Cressman interpolation Here shown is the analysed snow cover Cressman and IMS_24km OI and IMS 4km
