Condensation fireworks #445
Comments
This is a numerical issue because a The implicit condesantion correction that accounts for the higher saturation humidity approaching 100% within a few tens of time steps which sounds reasonable. At T85 that's equivalent to a time scale of 1 hour. |
With these changes the fireworks are gone, humidity can still be negative though, but that's tolerated for now humidity3.mp4 |
Surface humidity in comparison (previous was at k=3 of 8 levels) humidity3.mp4 |
Snapshots of 6-hourly precipitation stitched together with the new scheme, large scale + convective. I blame the current precip2.mp4 |
Update: For large-scale condensation the tendencies should be evaluated at the previous time step, because that changes the above to meaning no wiggles anymore in the implicit case, the explicit has some but muuuuch less than before. I guess the same applies for surface fluxes probably too that should be evaluated on the previous time step? |
The current condensation scheme produces negative values in the upper troposphere with funky "fireworks" that move against the wind... The white stuff is convection!
