[Wrf-users] Optimal schemes for LES

Good afternoon,

I am interested in running LES runs on a small domain in the Mediterranean
and have come across some problems when deciding which physics schemes
would be optimal to use. I am to understand that for the finer domain,
diff_opt should be set to 2, with an accompanying setting for km_opt of 2
or 3 and as a consequence cumulus and pbl should be set to zero. When it
comes to the other parameters such as Microphysics, LSM, surface and
radiation, I am unsure which would be best for such an application as the
difference amongst each seems sometimes minimal. Is there any setting which
is crucial for such an application?

Kind regards,

Jason
