| Zusammenfassung |
Recently, a multi-scale modeling system with unified physics was developed
at NASA Goddard. It consists of (1) a cloud-resolving model (CRM), (2) a
regional-scale model, the NASA unified Weather Research and Forecasting
Model (WRF), and (3) a coupled CRM-GCM (general circulation model, known as
the Goddard Multi-scale Modeling Framework or MMF). The same
cloud-microphysical processes, long- and short-wave radiative transfer and
land-surface processes are applied in all of the models to study explicit
cloud-radiation and cloud-surface interactive processes in this multi-scale
modeling system. This modeling system has been coupled with a
multi-satellite simulator for comparison and validation with NASA
high-resolution satellite data.
This paper reviews the development and presents some applications of the
multi-scale modeling system, including results from using the multi-scale
modeling system to study the interactions between clouds, precipitation, and
aerosols. In addition, use of the multi-satellite simulator to identify the
strengths and weaknesses of the model-simulated precipitation processes will
be discussed as well as future model developments and applications. |
