摘要
In this study a non-hydrostatic version of the PSU/NCAR mesoscale model is used to simulate an active western disturbance (WD) that affected the Indian region in January 1997. The role of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and convection parameterisation schemes in the development of the WD is investigated. Analysis and predictions for some fields, including sea level pressure, geopotential height, temperature, horizontal wind and precipitation are examined. Some statistical scores are also calculated and compared. It is found that the performance of the Hong-Pan (as implemented in the NCAR MRF model) and Betts-Miller (or Grell) schemes as PBL and convection parameterisation schemes respectively are best compared to the other schemes used in this study.
