WoFS_v0 Suite

Overview

The WoFS_v0 suite is targeted for use in the upcoming operational implementation of the NOAA's Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) and for the RRFS ensemble. This suite is most applicable for runs at <= 3-km resolution since it does not parameterize deep convection.

The WoFS suite uses the parameterizations in the following order:

• Subgrid-scale Cloud Interstitial
• GFS RRTMG Shortwave/Longwave Radiation Scheme
• MYNN Surface Layer Scheme
• GFS Near-Surface Sea Temperature Scheme
• GFS Noah Land Surface Model
• GFS Sea Ice Scheme
• MYNN-EDMF Boundary Layer and Shallow Cloud Scheme
• Unified Gravity Wave Physics Scheme - Version 0
• GFS Ozone Photochemistry (2015) Scheme
• GFS Stratospheric H2O Scheme
• NSSL 2-moment Cloud Microphysics Scheme
