ALARO 10
• ALADIN dynamics + MNH physics
• Hydrostatic version of AROME + parameterization of convection
• Prototype
• Leader: Gwenaelle Hello
Gard case
• • Date: 2002-09-08
• start time 2002-09-09 12
• validity time=2002-09-09 00
• Domain: A specific domain for this case 192x192 (smaller than aladin oper)

Time splitting for microphysical scheme
• Time step used in operational version of the model is to long for microphysics and the consequence is to few precipitation.
• Time splitting for microphysical scheme has to be introduced in the model.
• Iterations of microphysics:– microphysical scheme is performed several
times in one time step of the model
Method
• Maximal amount of precipitation on the ground
• Time steps: 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360 and 400 s
• Iterations: 1,2,3,6 and 9

An other consequence
• Geographical position of the precipitation area is changing
• It moves upstream
GARD 9-8-2002TSTEP=120 s ITERATIONS=1
GARD 9-8-2002TSTEP=120 s ITERATIONS=3
GARD 9-8-2002TSTEP=120 s ITERATIONS=3
Conclusions
• The amount of precipitation increases with decreasing time step
• It is converging for all studied cases
• Time splitting doesn’t converge always and when it does it is not the same value as for the same time step of the model
• Shorter time step must be used
