New runs over London domain

[hamidrezaomidvar]

Here is some new runs I did for April over London using new parameters and other discussed modifications, and the comparison between old results and new results. The QE improvements seem very interesting. I keep posting as other runs finish.

London-Apr

Here Swindon results for Apr:

Swindon-Apr

London October and July runs:

London-July


London-Oct

So Kdn - still an issue. We will need to think about a way to evaluate e.g. Bowen ratio that is less dependent on Q* being too high

I have plotted all the seasons together results for London and Swindon (see below). Overall here are some findings from the new runs:

• Radiation components are improved in general for both London and Swindon (while still there are some overestimation of kdn):

London-Radiation-Diurnal


Swindon-Radiation-Diurnal


London-Radiation-Scatter


Swindon-Radiation-Scatter


---

• QE and QH: it still varies, and for some seasons, the performance is good while for others not quite good (specially January):

London-flux-diurnal


Swindon-flux-diurnal


London-flux-Scatter


Swindon-flux-Scatter


---

• PBLH: I am seeing some weird behaviour in this as you can see in the plot. there are some lines pattern in the model prediction that not sure why it is happening here . Might need more investigation for this:

London-PBLH-scatter


Swindon-PBLH-scatter

I added the Bowen Ratio to the LE and QH plots. It seems that the model predicts very high bowen ratio during the night (which is consistent with the variation of QH and QE for the model in comparison to the obs):
