Both research and operational forecast centers are moving towards unified earth system modeling frameworks for applications across different spatial and temporal scales. Unification of physics parameterizations have become a high priority for developing these earth system modeling capabilities. Parameterizations traditionally developed specifically for weather and climate models, and for regional and global models, require further development and evaluation to be scale adaptive for various earth system model applications.
This session seeks contributions regarding the testing and evaluation of scale-aware physics parameterizations for the atmosphere, land, ocean, ice and wave components in earth-system models. Contributions on improvements of existing physics parameterizations, or development of new parameterizations that are scale-aware for earth system modeling, are encouraged. This section also welcomes contributions on consolidation of physical parameterizations representing similar physics processes (e.g. unification of vertical transport in boundary layer and convection schemes) as well as physics-dynamics coupling at different temporal and spatial scales.
