Virtual training course: Parametrization of subgrid physical processes

Land surface - warm processes

Speaker

Souhail Boussetta (ECMWF)

Description

This session will have two main components:
• An overview of the role of snow in the climate system from observations, models and forecasts; with a description of the current representation of snow in the ECMWF model.
• An overview of the role of vegetation in NWP with a description of the evolution of vegetation representation in the ECMWF model, supported by some evaluation examples.
By the end of the session, the students should be able:
• Identify the main processes associated with snow and vegetation in NWP
• Describe the main components related to snow and vegetation scheme in the ECMWF land surface model
