Overview

The RRFS_v1beta suite is the primary suite target for the upcoming operational implementation of the Rapid Refresh Forecast System (RRFS), which is used in the UFS SRW App.
This suite is most applicable for runs at 3-km resolution since it does not parameterize deep convection. This suite is available for use with the UFS SRW App and with the CCPP SCM.

The RRFS_v1beta suite uses the parameterizations in the following order:
