COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 2 19.09.2007 2.11 Alternative discretizations (due to alternative grids) 2.11.1 [RENUMBERED] Remove grid redundancy by Serendipity Grids DWD: Steppeler 09/05 Report The serendipity grids should be investigated, which reduce the redundancy of the interpolation procedures. In this way they achieve more accuracy and more efficiency. 2.11.2 [NEW] Higher order discretization on unstructured grids using Discontinuous Galerkin methods DWD: Baldauf, Univ. Freiburg: Kroener, Dedner, NN. 2009 start, 2011 report In the DFG priority program 'METSTROEM' a new dynamical core for the COSMO-model will be developed. It will use Discontinuous Galerkin methods to achieve higher order, conservative discretizations. Currently the building of an adequate library is under development. The work with the COSMO-model will start probably at the end of 2009. This is therefore base research especially to clarify, if these methods can lead to efficient solvers for NWP.

8. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 8 19.09.2007 Task 1: Looking at pressure bias (Torrisi) Goals: verifications of LM 7 km runs showed a higher positive pressure bias for the RK core than for the Leapfrog core, whereas other variables show comparable behaviour. Reasons and solutions? Leapfrog RK starting point of the task:

9. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 9 19.09.2007 Status the measurements p'T'-dynamics dynamical bottom boundary condition (DBBC) brought a certain improvement Intermediate question: Why is RK sensitive to DBBC whereas Leapfrog is not? LME parallel run at DWD shows even reduced pressure bias compared to Leapfrog in period '09.-25.02.07' (but is this a somewhat special period because there was mostly a high pressure situation in Europe ?) actual status of the problem is not clear no further work done Task 1: Plans: Test idealised mountain flow with RK/Leapfrog --> information, if a pressure bias is caused by dynamics or by parameterizations (T. Davies proposal) (G. Ceci) diabatic terms in pressure equation (R. Petrik (MPI-Hamburg), H. Herzog (retired) ) see WG2, Task 2.6.3 determine mass conservation with conservation inspection tool from task 3 (Petrik, Baldauf) see WG2, Task 2.10.1

Possible answer: Discretization of vertical gradients in p‘-equation RK: Leapfrog: Both versions are consistent and even of the same order of accuracy. But the first version seems to better coincide with DBBC. With the LF approach a slight improvement in MSLP bias is found

15. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 15 19.09.2007 Task 2: Continue RK case studies (Torrisi, deMorsier) extensive verification of the other tasks Work to do: verifications should be continued Status: CNMCA: COSMO-ITA tests with LF / RK / RK+Semi-Lagr. (results see task 4) COSMO-ITA tests (RK+SL) with nudging and 3D-VAR interpolated initial state

16. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 16 19.09.2007 Status: MeteoSwiss: since ~15.08.2006 runs a 2.2 km version with assimilation cycle. Several unstable cases found in previous winter period (e.g. ‚13. Jan. 2004‘) most of them could be simulated with Semi-Lagrange Adv. for moisture variables Winter storms Kyrill ('18.01.2007') and Lothar ('26.12.1999') simulated with MeteoCH new pre-operational model chain (2.2 km and 6.6 km):  new configuration: 1.) WRF-like RK3 used (instead of TVD-RK3) (as found at DWD for the Kyrill case) 2.) Semi-Lagrange-Adv. for moisture (instead of Bott-scheme) 3.) new level distribution especially in boundary layer (cures problems with TKE scheme)

17. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 17 19.09.2007 New level distribution compared to DWD-models New level distribution L60.2 in pre-operational COSMO-S2 now similar to COSMO-DE / IFS in the boundary layer. This prevents instabilities (2*dz structures for TKE)

23. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 23 19.09.2007 Task 4: Advection of moisture quantities in conservation form (Förstner, Baldauf) implementation of the Bott (1989)-scheme into the Courant-number independent advection algorithm for the moisture densities (Easter, 1993, Skamarock, 2004, 2006) Status: Task was finished in Sept. 2006 because implemented schemes (Bott-2, Bott-4) behaved well But in the meanwhile: stability problems occured in some cases  revival of the task necessary!

24. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 24 19.09.2007 Problems found with Bott (1989)-scheme in the meanwhile: 2.) Strang-splitting ( 'x-y-z' and 'z-y-x' in 2 time steps) produces 2*dt oscillations Solution: proper Strang-Splitting ('x-y-2z-y-x') in every time step solves the problem, but nearly doubles the computation time 1.) Directional splitting of the scheme: Parallel Marchuk-splitting of conservation equation for density can lead to a complete evacuation of cells Solution: Easter (1993), Skamarock (2004, 2006), mass-consistent splitting 3.) metric terms prevent the scheme to be properly mass conserving Schär–test case of an unconfined jet and ‚tracer=1‘ initialisation (remark: exact mass conservation is already violated by the 'flux-shifting' to make the Bott-scheme Courant-number independent)

29. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 29 19.09.2007 Task 5: investigation of convergence (Ceci, Vitagliano) Goals: determination of the spatial and temporal order of convergence of the RK- scheme in combination with advection schemes of higher order. Planned test cases: linear, 2D, hydrostatic mountain flow (h=10 m, a=10 km) linear, 2D, non-hydrostatic mountain flow (h=10 m, a=500 m) nonlinear, 2D mountain flows (dry case) (h=500 m, a=10 km) linear, 3D mountain flow nonlinear mountain flows with precipitation

30. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 30 19.09.2007 Work done: use of LM 3.21 (  p'T'-dynamics) Problems with unrealistic vertical winds at lateral boundaries solved: Introduction of an appropriate reference state  p', T'=0 at the beginning upper Rayleigh damping layer: idealised test cases need a properly chosen damping constant. The range for it reduces by decreasing the number of levels in damping layer (  compare new WG2 task: 2.3.2, radiative upper boundary condition, non-local in time) Calculation of L 1, L  – error norms for the dry 2D test cases Additionally calculation of mountain drag coefficient, and vertical momentum flux analytical solution for linear mountain flow (Klemp, Lilly, 1978) programmed Task 5: investigation of convergence Plans: determine L 2, L  – errors of KE, w,..., dependent from  x,  t,... for the test cases

31. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 31 19.09.2007 Spurious vertical velocity at lateral boundaries comparison between the original and modified standard reference atmosphere.

36. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 36 19.09.2007 Task 6: deep valleys (Förstner, Torrisi, Reinhardt, deMorsier) Goal: detection of the reason for the unrealistic ‚cold pools‘ in Alpine valleys Status (old): The reason for the cold pools was identified: metric terms of the pressure gradient Dynamical Bottom boundary condition (DBBC) (A. Gassmann (2004), COSMO-Newsl.) and a slope-dependent orography-filtering cures the problem to a certain extent. Proposal for future work: inspect the limitations of the terrain following coordinate for steeper slopes, e.g. for future LMK ~1 km horizontal resolution for application of aLMo 2 (MeteoCH) in Alpine region Does the strong conservation form (Gassmann-scheme) delivers advantages for steep terrain?

37. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 37 19.09.2007 Task 7: Different filter options for orography (Förstner) Status: the orography filtering is now sufficiently weak for DWD-LMK applications (max. slopes 30% allowed) finished

38. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 38 19.09.2007 Improved vertical advection for the dynamic var. u, v, w, T (or T‘), p‘ motivation: resolved convection vertical advection has increased importance => use scheme of higher order (compare: horizontal adv. from 2. order to 5. order) => bigger w (~20 m/s) => Courant-crit. is violated => implicit scheme or CNI-explicit scheme up to now: implicit (Crank-Nicholson) advection 2. order (centered differences) new: implicit (Crank-N.) advektion 3. order  LES with 5-banddiagonal-matrix but: implicit adv. 3. order in every RK-substep; needs ~ 30% of total computational time!  planned: use outside of RK-scheme (splitting-error?, stability with fast waves?) Task 8: Higher order discretization in the vertical for RK-scheme (Baldauf) Status: no further work done Work to do: best combination with time integration scheme?

39. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 39 19.09.2007 Task 9: Physics coupling scheme (deMorsier, Förstner, Baldauf, NN) original idea: problems with reduced precipitation could be due to a nonadequate coupling between physics scheme and dynamics Status: no further work done Work to do: what are the reasons for the failure of the WRF-PD-scheme in LM? (turbulence scheme?) Test different sequences of dynamics and physics (especially physics after dynamics)  test tool (Bryan-Fritsch-case) is developed in PP ‚QPF‘, task 4.1 Problems in new physics-dynamics coupling (NPDC): Negative feedback between NPDC and operational moist turbulence parameterization (not present in dry turbulence parameterization) 2-  z - structures in the specific cloud water field (q c ) 2-  z - structures in the TKE field, unrealistic high values, where q c > 0

40. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 40 19.09.2007 Task 10: Testing of alternative fast wave scheme (Gassmann, Torrisi, Förstner) Goals: p‘T‘-RK-scheme ‚shortened-RK2‘-scheme (Gassmann) this allows the use of the ‚radiative upper boundary condition‘ (RUBC) Properties of A. Gassmann dyn. core: Splitting up of vertical advection of p*/T into fast/slow mode equations and consistent boundary conditions Vertical average to half levels: mass weighted mean (in RK simple mean) and base-state consistent formulation of the discrete w-equation Different horizontal pressure gradient discretization Divergence in conservative flux-form Slightly different buoyancy term No divergence damping

41. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 41 19.09.2007 Status: The fast waves part (Gassmann) is combined with the Leapfrog scheme in LM 3.21 Original Gassmann dynamical core poses stability problems in several cases! Gassmann fast waves part in RK3 worked in only 1 case ‚shortened RK2‘-scheme (Gassmann (2002), Gassmann and Herzog (2007)) is implemented into LM 3.21 using the fast waves solver of RK3 and the RK3 advection/physics subroutines Preliminary investigation of this dynamical core (L. Torrisi) tested in real cases for a five days period: similar results to the RK3 splitting method Separate inspection of divergence in conservation form and vertical staggering Implementation questions pointed out: Splitting of contravariant vertical velocity poses problems in formulation of lower boundary conditions Work to do: Further tests within CLM-community (dx=18 km) (B. Früh, Univ. Karlsruhe)

43. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 43 19.09.2007 Task 13: Divergence damping in a truely 3D-version (NEW) (Baldauf) Description: Cases occured, where the up to now used 'quasi-2D' divergence filtering lead to unstable results. But a complete abandoning of the divergence filtering (as proposed by A. Gassmann for her dynamical core) also leads to several instabilities. This was also shown by stability analyses of the RK-core by M. Baldauf. P. Prohl (DWD) could demonstrate, that the Bryan-Fritsch- test case of a rising warm bubble is unstable with 'quasi- 2D' divergence damping but becomes stable only with a full 3D (=isotropic) version (realised with a preliminary explicit formulation). For operational use an implicit version of 3D divergence damping is necessary. (this task was defined as a subtask in Task 10; but Task 10 concentrates more and more to the A. Gassmann dynamical core)

44. COSMO Priority Project ‚Runge-Kutta‘ 44 19.09.2007 Task 14: DFI for RK NEW (L. Torrisi) Description: Bug of DFI has been repaired in the Leapfrog-version of the COSMO-model. This has still to be done in RK (L. Torrisi already investigated some work)
