Latest WRF v3.2 run
17 June 2010: New version of WRF!
* New hurricane options (isftcflx = 2) still uses Donelan drag coefficient formulation
but now uses Garratt surface enthalpy flux
formulation.
* Dissipative heating for tropical storms
(isftcflx > 0)
* RRTM longwave radiation bug fixed
Stars indicate the new run, open circles
indicate the old (3.1) run. On the wind plot,
red is the lowest model level and pink is
level 6, around the top of the boundary layer.
Ran out to 12 days for a quick check, seeing improvement. Crashing caused me to turn
off adaptive time step, so it's running a lot slower. XLAND parameter for sure set to
2 (ocean), Cd much smaller, Ck/Cd ratio larger (~1 but decreasing).
