  13. OBJECTIVE Develop a unified double moment, multiclass microphysical scheme that can be used on the largest possible scale range in NWP models 15km 100km LES CRM GM 30km 2.5km 100m 500m 1km 4km 10km NWP WHY? • Consistency amongst models: deterministic and probabilistic prediction systems • Decrease spin-up and more consistent background field for data assimilation • Better microphysics for coarser resolution models HOW ? multi-moment, multi-class microphysical schemes has been developed for small scales • Extend to larger spatial scales: implement subgrid cloud/precip fractions

  14. Subgrid Cloud Fraction ∞ DEFINITIONS : � = a PDF dq t 1. The cloud fraction is the fraction of the grid that is supersaturated q s 2. The cloud fraction eventually contains the cloudy species : cloud droplets, small ice particles, and snow particles (hydrometeors experiencing water vapour deposition)

  15. Subgrid Precipitation Fraction Details in Chosson et al. (2013) cloud fraction p p p = + a a a k k k clr cld Maximum- • random overlap • Precip. comes from overlying clouds
