1. Introduction Physical processes that are not explicitly resolved by the model grid in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are parameterized. To address model errors associated with parameterization schemes and subgrid-scale variability, development of stochastic representations of atmospheric processes is becoming more frequent (e.g., Lin and Neelin 2002 ; Shutts 2005 ; Teixeira and Reynolds 2008 ; Plant and Craig 2008 ; Berner et al. 2008 ).

parameterization of processes that occur on scales smaller than can be represented by the discrete model grid. Physical processes occurring on these subgrid scales are important to the resolved energy and momentum budgets and necessarily respect the same conservation principles. Self-consistency of conservation properties in subgrid-scale parameterization is an important issue because parameterizations of subgrid-scale processes can lead to spurious long-term trends if energy and momentum conservation are not

All of thesenumerical experiments show that the surface characteristics and, hence, the subgrid-scale surface processesstrongly affect the predicted microclimate close to the ground. Furthermore, the model results also provideevidence that in the case of applying dominant land-use types the grid resolution may strongly affect the calculated water and energy fluxes because a subgrid-scale

1. Introduction: Stochastic parameterization of subgrid-scale processes The parameterization of subgrid-scale processes in models of atmospheric flow has drawn a lot of research attention recently. To get beyond the limitations of parameterizations with deterministic functions, the focus of various recent investigations has been on the potential of stochastic methods for the parameterization of processes that cannot be resolved because they fall below the model grid scale (e.g., Majda et al

and the tuned version of the default Emanuel method. The generalized form presented here, where n = 1 is not assumed a priori, removes the need to tune a grid-mean value. The new formulation for autoconversion presented here has significant advantages over the default forms that exist within RegCM3: 1) it explicitly recognizes subgrid variability in CLW and how that variability affects the grid-scale conversion process; 2) only two parameters have to be specified, one dependent upon the other

1. Introduction It is well known that variability in cloud microphysical and macrophysical properties occurs at very fine spatial and temporal scales. If subgrid-scale (SGS) variability in cloud properties is crudely represented in numerical models, potentially substantial biases in microphysical process rates can result from inadequate consideration of SGS variability ( Pincus and Klein 2000 ; Larson et al. 2001a ; Woods et al. 2002 ). A potential benefit for representing SGS variability

Chamber provides a controlled condition for studying cloud–turbulence interactions and is well suited for developing and testing subgrid-scale (SGS) models. MacMillan et al. (2022) performed the first DNS of the Pi Chamber with droplets. However, the Rayleigh number for these simulations was three orders of magnitude smaller than the real Pi Chamber, and periodic sidewall boundaries were used. Thus, the turbulence and moisture statistics were idealized, and different from those in the Pi Chamber. In

example, is reached at a coarser resolution than the gray zone for turbulence [planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterizations]. Traditional parameterization schemes were designed to represent the subgrid-scale processes that are not explicitly resolved because they are spatially or temporally too small scale, too complex and expensive, or not well understood; but nonetheless affect the atmospheric state at the resolved scale.
