- Abstract
The article discusses the parameterization of the atmospheric boundary layer. It is said that boundary layer parameterizations often suffer from numerical problems that affect model performance like most parameterizations. A major problem relating to the numerical stability of the turbulent diffusion and/or mass-flux equations often used in boundary layer parameterization is presented. According to the author, sustained funding and a culture that rewards good engineering is crucial to developing and implementing better boundary layer parameterizations in weather and climate prediction models.
