Why is it so difficult to represent stably stratified conditions in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the turbulence closure in stable conditions and the large-scale flow and found that reduced turbulent diffusion improves the representation of winds in stable boundary layers, but it deteriorates the large scale flow and the near-surface temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward a Consistent Reanalysis of the Climate System

TL;DR: The authors reviewed past and current reanalysis activities at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and described plans for developing future reanalyses of the coupled climate system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Initialisation of Land Surface Variables for Numerical Weather Prediction

TL;DR: In this article, a review of different approaches used in numerical weather prediction to initialise land surface variables is presented, which discusses the observation availability and quality, and it addresses the combined use of conventional observations and satellite data.
