Intermediately Prognostic Higher-Order Closure Model
• Double-Gaussian distribution of liquid-water potential temperature, total water mixing ratio and vertical velocity
• Skewnesses of these three third-order moments predicted
• All first-, second-, third- and fourth-order moments, subgrid-scale condensation and buoyancy based on the same probability distribution function
• A bulk microphysics scheme considering subgrid-scale variabilities has been developed and tested (Cheng and Xu 2008; in preparation)

Experiment Design
• Standard initial condition and forcing for GCSS ARM (continental shallow cumulus), BOMEX (shallow cumulus), ATEX (intermediate cloud regime) and ASTEX (stratocumulus) cases
• 2-D Domain; 256 km in horizontal direction; 4.5 km for ARM; 3 km for ATEX and BOMEX, and 1.5 km for ASTEX in vertical direction
• Resolution: 4 km in horizontal direction; 40 m for ARM, BOMEX and ATEX, and 25 m for ASTEX in vertical direction
• Momentum fluxes from IPHOC are not used

Summary and Discussion
• An IPHOC has been implemented in VVCM and tested with major GCSS cases
• IPHOC is capable of simulating various PBL clouds with variable large-scale and radiative forcings using 4 km horizontal grid spacing
• Further improvement of the IPHOC is needed to capture the fine structure of the cloud fields simulated from benchmark LESs
• The LBA shallow-to-deep convective cloud transition case is under testing
