SPPT scheme

[aleherver]

Hello,

According to the user’s guide, in the SPPT scheme the random pattern is not applied to the microphysics tendency. What is the reason? Is there any way to apply the random pattern to the full physics tendency including microphysics?

Hi,
Take a look at the following paper and see if it helps with your understanding of this:
doi:https://doi.org/10.1175/MWR-D-14-00091.1

If you still have questions, let me know and I'll try to contact the developer of this option.

This paper does not help to answer my question: Why the random pattern is not applied to the microphysics pattern?

Hi,
It looks like I gave you an incorrect link to the paper the first time. I've corrected the link above. See if that is any more useful.
Thanks.
