Presentation of Jean-Pierre Pinty during the 1st AROME training course that took place in Poiana Brasov (Romania), on November 21-25, 2005.
The theoretical background of the microphysics parametrization and its implementation in Méso-NH model is presented :
– Common assumptions made in microphysical schemes
– The current scheme developed and used in MésoNH
– Warm microphysics
– Mixed-phase microphysics
– Examples and tools to evaluate the scheme
– Conclusion and perspective
