TKE and the integral buoyancy of the transported parcel. Function k<br />

m / θ<br />

is used to modulate<br />

the rate of the l<br />

BL89<br />

influence and it is prescribed by empirical formula.<br />

3-D experiments with formulation (4) showed more production of TKE in areas of strong jets<br />

or low static stability against the reference GC05 mixing length (figure 6, right). This<br />

improvement was achieved without exaggerating the values of TKE in the PBL or at the<br />

tropopause (which could violate the stability of the computation).<br />

Conclusion: Preliminary results on case studies achieved with the merged empirical and<br />

Bougeault-Lacarrère parameterisation show rather neutral impact on surface meteorological<br />

quantities (wind, mean sea level pressure). Differences can be observed rather on parameters,<br />

which are very sensitive on turbulent fluxes (e.g. on vertical profiles of diagnosed TKE).<br />

However, some properties and non-local aspects of this scheme seem to be promising and<br />

their influence will be further evaluated.<br />

color, kg . m 2 . s -2 ) in 12 hour forecast valid to 15 December 2005 from the reference experiment with modified<br />

GC05 scheme of mixing length (left) from experiment with for the merged GC05 and BL89 parameterisation.<br />

Thick solid line denotes the height of the PBL. The cross-section is zonal, nearly following the 51.5° N latitude.<br />
