ConclusionsA proper accuracy check of the turbulence parameterisations used in the LM will only be possible if the model forcing from the surface has been improved. It’s intended to replace soil moisture, precipitation and radiation balance values at surface by measure- ments (or simulated data basing on them like soil moisture) in the whole LMK area.
Versatile vertical soundings available from Lindenberg (DWD) enable us to study thoroughly the changing boundary layer structures during the day. Based on them the model behaviour can be evaluated more comprehensively due to continuous compa- risons between measured and simulated meteorological quantities along the vertical.
The implementation of the horizontal heat and momentum fluxes improves the phy-sical content of the scheme. In order to find out how accurately the present prognostic 3d-TKE scheme describes the reality (e.g. simulation of convection rolls), further validation studies are necessary, also including satellite data which often reveal such convection rolls in nature, too.
