PMMC09 and vertical resolution

Opened this issue · 1 comments

When vertical resolution increases near the surface, the scheme closure happens too near the surface and can lead to an overestimated transport.
The idea of Valery is to modify the closure mechanism to take into account the environment variables values higher and start the updraft at a given height above ground (maybe around 20m). The difficulty is to impose updraft characteristics under this point to allow the mixing on the whole column and not only starting from the 20m level.
