em_quarter_ss test case: This test case produces a simulation of a supercell thunderstorm. The environmental wind makes a "quarter circle" when plotted on a hodograph, and is commonly referred to as "quarter circle shear". "ss" refers to "super-cell". The default version of this test case uses a constant eddy viscosity for turbulent mixing -> diff_opt=1 and km_opt = 1 in namelist.input. The Coriolis terms in the model are off (f = 0) The prognostic TKE can be activated by setting diff_opt=2 and km_opt = 2 (see README.namelist). In idealized cloud model simulations, it is common practice to use Coriolis forcing calculated from wind fields defined as perturbations from the initial sounding. This option can be activated by setting the "dynamics" namelist option "pert_coriolis = .true." (the default is false). Additionally, the value of the Coriolis parameter "f" will need to be reset (from zero to the desired value) in WRFV1/dyn_em/module_initialize_quarter_ss.F, and the initial state recomputed. Also, a constant surface drag and heat flux can be specified in the TKE formulation by setting the "dynamics" namelist option "tke_drag_coefficient = Cd", "tke_heat_flux = S". The default values are zero. Please note that these are specified constants; the formulations do not make use of similarity theory. These momentum and heat fluxes will not be active if surface and boundary layer formulations are activated in the model physics.
