TEAMx: Some Research Questions Do we have a quantitative grasp of exchange processes and theirinteractions over complex terrain?(e.g., scaling laws in the surface layer; entrainment rates) Do current NWP, regional climate and pollutant transport and dispersionmodels adequately account for the processes within mountain BL?(e.g., dependence of mountain-induced fluxes on model resolution) Is SGS parameterization of orography-induced exchange of heat and massnecessary for O(10 km) grid-spacing models?(e.g., similar to orographic drag) How do BL processes over mountains impact convection initiation, airquality, etc.?June 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather ForecastsECMWF, 10-13 June 20195

Parameterizing Exchange Processes Three examples of gaps between the state of knowledge aboutexchange processes over mountains and the state-of-the art inparameterizations:1. Scaling laws in the surface layer2. Planetary boundary layer3. Orographic dragJune 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather ForecastsECMWF, 10-13 June 20197

Example 1: MOST Scaling LawsHow parameterizations work SL parameterizations assumethat the first model level lieswithin the constant-flux layer, Surface fluxes are estimatedfrom model-level variablesusing bulk transferrelationships, Under this assumption, bulktransfer coefficients includeadiabatic corrections, basedon MOST (Ψ, ζ z/L).June 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather ForecastsECMWF, 10-13 June 20198

Example 1: MOST Scaling LawsWhat we know Over slopes, turbulent fluxesmay change considerablywith height above theground, Even using local scaling, fluxprofile relationships are oftenreported to match poorlyobserved fluxes and gradientsover complex terrain, The example illustrates a caseover a steep mountain slopeunder weak synpotic flow andclear-sky conditions.June 13, 2019Nadeau et al (2013)Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather ForecastsECMWF, 10-13 June 20199

Example 1: MOST Scaling Laws2011 – ongoingTEAMx Plan Observations of the components of thesurface energy budget for extendedperiods in distributed observatories (e.g.,i-Box). Fundamental investigations on turbulenceproperties in the atmosphere overcomplex terrain (e.g., anisotropy,generalization of scaling laws). Systematic evaluation of SLparameterization over complex terrain.Poster: Modelling and Observing the Atmospheric BoundaryLayer over Mountains by Serafin et al.June 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather ForecastsECMWF, 10-13 June 201910

Example 2: PBL StructureTroen and Mahrt (1986)How parameterizations work Regardless of the closuretype (K-profile or TKE-based),the BL height (zi) is a keyparameter in determining theeddy transfer coefficients. zi is determined in a variety ofways (e.g., gradient or Ribmethods). PBL closures are often 1D(they only model verticalexchange).June 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather ForecastsECMWF, 10-13 June 201911

Example 2: PBL StructureDaytime BL in the Inn ValleyWhat we know The vertical structure of theMBL is more complex thanthat of the CBL (evidencefrom both observations andnumerical modelling),Markl et al (2017)Free AtmosphereTransition ZonecrestheightStable Valley AtmMixed LayerJune 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather Forecasts,ECMWF, 10-13 June 201912

Wagner et al (2015)Example 2: PBL StructureWhat we know The vertical structure of theMBL is more complex thanthat of the CBL (evidencefrom both observations andnumerical modelling), Different ways of estimatingzi yield varying results overcomplex terrain,June 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather Forecasts,ECMWF, 10-13 June 201913

Example 2: PBL StructureTEAMx plan Obtain comprehensive measurements ofmouintain boundary layer Use ground-based remote sensing to map 3Dkinematic and thermodynamic structure andfluxes within PBL over valleys/mountains (fluxtowers remote sensors; e.g. Doppler windand Raman lidars, wind profilers). Possibleuse of light aircraft or sUAS for gap fillingmeasurements over wide areas, Systematic evaluation of PBLparameterizations over complex terrain, Testing recent advances in numerics (e.g.immersed- and embedded-boundarymethods to represent orography).June 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather Forecasts,ECMWF, 10-13 June 201915

Example 3: Orographic DragHow parameterizations work Two components: blockedflow drag and gravity-wavedrag, Both are estimated fromvertically-averaged values ofU, N and ρ, e.g. in the layerbetween σ and 2σ (of the SGSorography). Consequence: Orographicdrag parameterizations areunaware of low-level windshear and inversion layers.June 13, 2019Lott and Miller (1997)Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather Forecasts,ECMWF, 10-13 June 201916

Example 3: Orographic DragTeixeira (2014)What we know Vertical variation of wind and stability inmountain flows can lead to a richvariety of flow realizations, Drag is not only affected by terrainanisotropy but also by vertical windshear, presence of total and partialcritical levels, vertical wave reflectionand resonance, and non-hydrostaticeffects such as trapped lee waves.TEAMx plan Advance the physically based approachto parameterizing drag by extendingtheoretical predictions to more complexflows.June 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather Forecasts,ECMWF, 10-13 June 201917

Multi-Scale Interactions andPredictability of Orographic Flows A subtle interplay between large-scale and local-scale processesdetermines whether or not Mountain waves will attain large amplitudes, Chinook (Foehn) winds will break through to valley floors.

Exchange processes over mountainsMomentumAtmospheric flow decelerates over mountains, due to orographicblocking and gravity wave breaking. Orographic drag parameterizationsalleviate systematic biases in general circulation models.HeatAt daytime, mountains heat the atmosphere at high altitudes above sealevel, generating breeze systems that favor horizontal and verticaltransport and mixing. At night, orography favors cold-air pooling.Mass: WaterFlow over mountains enhances stratiform and convective precipitation,drying up the atmosphere. Mountains are “water towers” for thesurrounding plains.Mass: CO2CO2 uptake by the land surface is the most uncertain term of the globalbudget, and is often estimated as the residual from other terms.Systematic deviations between modelled uptake and estimated residualreveal inadequacies in CO2 flux modelling over land. Poorly representedexchange over orography may be one reason.June 13, 2019Workshop on Observational Campaigns for Better Weather Forecasts,ECMWF, 10-13 June 201930
