Updated cloud physics in a regional atmospheric climate model improves the modelled surface energy balance of Antarctica

Updated cloud physics in a regional atmospheric climate model improves the modelled surface energy balance of Antarctica

In this study the effects of changes in the physics package of the regional atmospheric climate model RACMO2 on the modelled surface energy balance, near-surface temperature and wind speed of Antarctica are presented. The physics package update primarily consists of an improved turbulent and radiati...
