CURRENT TRENDS IN THE REPRESENTATION OF PHYSICA...

This book focuses on the development of physical parameterization over the last 2 to 3 decades
and provides a roadmap for its future development. It covers important physical processes:
convection  clouds  radiation  land-surface  and the orographic effect. The improvement of
numerical models for predicting weather and climate at a variety of places and times has
progressed globally. However  there are still several challenging areas  which need to be
addressed with a better understanding of physical processes based on observations  and to
subsequently be taken into account by means of improved parameterization. And this is all the
more important since models are increasingly being used at higher horizontal and vertical
resolutions. Encouraging debate on the cloud-resolving approach or the hybrid approach with
parameterized convection and grid-scale cloud microphysics and its impact on models¿ intrinsic
predictability  the book offers a motivating reference guide for all researchers whose work
involves physical parameterization problems and numerical models.
