By leveraging the anisotropy of tubulence, a new form of MOST scaling applicable in complex and flat terrain can be found. This work shows generalized MOST readily applies to canopies, and explores traditional and generalized MOST performance across a wide range of time, place, land cover, anisotropy, and complexity

Homogenization of higher resolution surface fluxes when passed to the atmosphere, as common in many ESMs, is shown to cause large changes in precipitation in water limited regions of the United States in addition to yielding significant changes to mesoscale atmospheric flows

When the circulations are parameterized, we see increased cloud development and realistic changes to the mean profiles of temperature and moisture. The proposed model qualitatively matches expectations from the literature and LES, and points to the potential success of its future implementation in coarse grid models.

Earth system models (ESMs) and mesoscale models have come to employ increasingly complex parameterization schemes for the atmospheric boundary layer, requiring surface boundary conditions for numerous higher order turbulence statistics… … The National Ecological Observation Network is used here to evaluate existing parameterizations for the surface boundary of PTV, note key deficiencies, and explore possible remedies. The results indicate that existing schemes are acceptable over a variety of surface conditions …
