/** \page GFS_SATMEDMFVDIFQ GFS Scale-aware TKE-based Moist Eddy-Diffusion Mass-Flux (EDMF) PBL and Free Atmospheric Turbulence Scheme \section des_satmedmfvdifq Description The current operational GFS scale-aware TKE-EDMF PBL scheme is an extended version of GFS Hybrid Eddy-Diffusivity Mass-Flux PBL and Free Atmospheric Turbulence scheme (Han et al. 2016 \cite Han_2016; Han et al. 2017 \cite han_et_al_2017) with below enhancement: -# Eddy diffusivity (K) is now a function of TKE which is prognostically predicted -# EDMF approach is applied for all the unstable PBL -# EDMF approach is also applied to the stratocumulus-top-driven turbulence mixing -# It includes a moist-adiabatic process when updraft thermal becomes saturated -# Scale-aware capability -# It includes interaction between TKE and cumulus convection The CCPP-compliant subroutine satmedmfvdifq_run() computes subgrid vertical turbulence mixing using scale-aware TKE-based moist eddy-diffusion mass-flux paramterization (Han et al. 2019 \cite Han_2019) - For the convective boundary layer, the scheme adopts EDMF parameterization (Siebesma et al. (2007)\cite Siebesma_2007) to take into account nonlocal transport by large eddies(mfpbltq.f) - A new mass-flux paramterization for stratocumulus-top-induced turbulence mixing has been introduced (mfscuq.f; previously, it was an eddy diffusion form) - For local turbulence mixing, a TKE closure model is used. \section v6_pbl_enh CCPP Physics Updates \version CCPP v6.0.0 - Wind shear effect in characteristic mixing length calculation is included, which reduces the mixing length in a strong shear environment such as a hurricane. - To better predict surface inversion as well as capping inversion near the PBL top, background diffusivity in the inversion layers is reduced as a function of surface roughness and green vegetation fraction. - To reduce the PBL overgrowth, the PBL updraft overshoot is not only limited by bulk Richardson number-based-PBL depth, but the virtual potential temperature at top of the surface layer rather than that at the model first layer is also used as the near-surface virtual potential temperature in the bulk-Richardson number computation. This helps to largely suppress the unrealistic widespread popcorn-like precipitation. - Updraft entrainment rates for moisture, hydrometeors, and tracers are increased by about 30%. - A positive definite total variation diminishing (TVD) mass-flux transport scheme for moisture, hydrometeors, and tracers and a method for removing negative tracer mixing ratio values have been implemented. \sa NCEP Office Note 505 \cite https://doi.org/10.25923/cybh-w893 and 506 \cite https://doi.org/10.25923/5051-3r70 \section intra_satmedmfvdifq Intraphysics Communication - \ref arg_table_satmedmfvdifq_run \section gen_pbl_satmedmfvdifq General Algorithm - \ref gen_satmedmfvdifq */
