Evaluation of an E–ε and Three Other Boundary Layer Parameterization Schemes in the WRF Model over the Southeast Pacific and the Southern Great Plains

To accurately simulate the atmospheric state within the planetary boundary layer (PBL) by PBL parameterization scheme in different regions with their dominant weather/climate regimes is important for global/regional atmospheric models. In this study, we introduce the turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) and TKE dissipation rate (ε) based 1.5-order closure PBL parameterization (E–ε, EEPS) in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. The...
