Worked on the TerrenceMcGuinness-NOAA/global-workflow repository to enhance weather modeling for high-resolution grids by tuning the orographic gravity wave drag (OGWD) parameterization. Focused on configuration management using Shell scripting, the work involved reducing the effective grid size factor for OGWD from 6.0 to 2.0 for grid resolutions below 10 km. This adjustment increased the OGWD magnitude, leading to improved forecast skill and more accurate physical representation in high-resolution runs such as C1152. The change was fully documented, linked to issue tracking, and integrated into the workflow, reflecting a targeted and technically sound approach to model improvement.
December 2024 monthly summary for TerrenceMcGuinness-NOAA/global-workflow. Delivered targeted OGWD (orographic gravity wave drag) parameter tuning for high-resolution grids to enhance forecast accuracy and physical fidelity. The change adjusts the effective grid size factor for OGWD at resolutions below 10 km, reducing it from 6.0 to 2.0 to increase OGWD magnitude and improve forecast skill for high-resolution grids (e.g., C1152).
