c. GFDL shortwave: Eta operational scheme. Two-stream multi-band scheme withozone from climatology and cloud 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.d. Modified GFDL shortwave: Similar to the GFDL shortwave (c), but modified to besuitable for tropics (98). (This scheme is well tested and used operationally at NCEPfor H<strong>WRF</strong>.) New in Version 3.2.e. CAM scheme: from the CAM 3 climate model used in CCSM. Allows for aerosolsand trace gases (3).f. RRTMG shortwave. A new shortwave scheme with the MCICA method of randomcloud overlap (4).g. Held-Suarez relaxation. A temperature relaxation scheme designed for idealizedtests only (31).Surface Layer (sf_sfclay_physics)a.MM5 similarity: Based on Monin-Obukhov with Carslon-Boland viscous sub-layerand standard similarity functions from look-up tables (sf_sfclay_physics = 1). (Thisscheme has been preliminarily tested for <strong>WRF</strong>-NMM.)b. Eta similarity: Used in Eta model. Based on Monin-Obukhov with Zilitinkevichthermal roughness length and standard similarity functions from look-up tables (2).(This scheme is well tested for <strong>WRF</strong>-NMM, used operationally at NCEP.)c. NCEP Global Forecasting System (GFS) scheme: The Monin-Obukhov similarityprofile relationship is applied to obtain the surface stress and latent heat fluxes using aformulation based on Miyakoda and Sirutis (1986) modified for very stable andunstable situations. Land surface evaporation has three components (directevaporation from the soil and canopy, and transpiration from vegetation) following theformulation of Pan and Mahrt (1987) (3). (This scheme has been preliminarily testedfor <strong>WRF</strong>-NMM.)d. Pleim-Xiu surface layer (7).e. QNSE surface layer. Quasi-Normal Scale Elimination PBL scheme’s surface layeroption (4).f. MYNN surface layer. Nakanishi and Niino PBL’s surface layer scheme (5).<strong>WRF</strong>-NMM V3: User’s Guide 5-5
