HRRR Suite

Overview

The HRRR suite contains the parameterizations used in the NOAA operational High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model, which runs at 3-km resolution. This suite is available for use with the UFS SRW App and with the CCPP SCM. This suite is most applicable for runs at 3-km resolution since it does not parameterize deep convection.

For additional information about the HRRR model, visit: https://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/.

The HRRR 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
• RUC Land Surface Model
• MYNN-EDMF Boundary Layer and Shallow Cloud Scheme
• GSL Drag Suite Scheme
• GFS Ozone Photochemistry (2015) Scheme
• GFS Stratospheric H2O Scheme
• Thompson Aerosol-Aware Cloud Microphysics Scheme
