New parameterizations in the RegCM model
Pitaš, Ondřej ; Belda, Michal (advisor) ; Karlický, Jan (referee)
This thesis compares new physical parameterizations in the regional climate model system RegCM with the standard settings used at the Department of Atmospheric Phy- sics and observed climatic conditions. The first part is dedicated to the description of individual parameterizations and to the essential introduction to the RegCM model. In addition, model preprocessing and running simulations are discussed. The simulations were conducted over Europe domain for the ten-year period (1990-1999) with five dif- ferent model settings. Holtslag PBL(Holtslag, 1990) type boundary layer scheme, Grell cumulus convention scheme over land and ocean and Explicit moisture scheme (SUBEX; Pal et al 2000) were used in the reference simulation. In the conducted simulations, the following physical parametrizations were used separately: UW PBL (Bretherton and McCaa, 2004) boundary layer scheme, Explicit moisture Nogherotto/Tompkins mois- ture scheme, Tiedtke (1996) and Kain-Fritsch (1990) & Kain (2004) cumulus convention schemes over land and ocean. None of the new physical parameterizations showed impro- vements over standard setting in all analyzed variables at the same time. Precipitation is best described by reference simulation as well as by simulations with UW PBL and Kain- Fritsch & Kain parametrization type. Kain-Fritsch...
