k. Morrison double-moment scheme (10). Double-moment ice, snow, rain and graupelfor cloud-resolving simulations.l. <strong>WRF</strong> Double-Moment 5-class scheme (14). This scheme has double-moment rain.Cloud and CCN for warm processes, but is otherwise like WSM5.m. <strong>WRF</strong> Double-Moment 6-class scheme (16). This scheme has double-moment rain.Cloud and CCN for warm processes, but is otherwise like WSM6.n. Thompson et al. (2007) scheme (98). This is the older Version 3.0 Thompsonscheme that used to be option 8. (This scheme has been preliminarily tested for <strong>WRF</strong>-NMM.)Longwave Radiation (ra_lw_physics)a. RRTM scheme: Rapid Radiative Transfer Model. An accurate scheme using lookuptables for efficiency. Accounts for multiple bands, trace gases, and microphysicsspecies (ra_lw_physics = 1). (This scheme has been preliminarily tested for <strong>WRF</strong>-NMM.)b. GFDL scheme: Eta operational radiation scheme. An older multi-band scheme withcarbon dioxide, ozone and microphysics effects (99). (This scheme is well tested for<strong>WRF</strong>-NMM, used operationally at NCEP.) Note: If it is desired to run GFDL with amicrophysics scheme other than Ferrier, a modification to module_ra_gfdleta.F isneeded to comment out (!) #define FERRIER_GFDL.c. Modified GFDL scheme: Similar to the GFDL scheme (b) but modified to besuitable for the tropics (98). (This scheme is well tested and used operationally atNCEP for H<strong>WRF</strong>.) New in Version 3.2.d. CAM scheme: from the CAM 3 climate model used in CCSM. Allows for aerosolsand trace gases (3).e. RRTMG scheme. A new version of RRTM (4). It includes the MCICA method ofrandom cloud overlap.Shortwave Radiation (ra_sw_physics)a. Dudhia scheme: Simple downward integration allowing efficiently for clouds andclear-sky absorption and scattering. When used in high-resolution simulations, slopingand shadowing effects may be considered (ra_sw_physics = 1). (This scheme has beenpreliminarily tested for <strong>WRF</strong>-NMM.)b. Goddard shortwave: Two-stream multi-band scheme with ozone from climatologyand cloud effects (2).<strong>WRF</strong>-NMM V3: User’s Guide 5-4
