100m Unified Model versions
• Cold pooling in valleys COLPEX (Clark, Vosper, Carter)
• Convection (Carter, Halliwell, Hanley)
• StCu (Bootle)
• London (Lean)
• (Also 300m Weymouth model for Olympic sailing) and 300m London model (fog).

Why 100m London Model ?• Ask question “what might a 100m model of London do for us” (What can it do and not do).
• Potential to better represent effects due to small scale surface features (e.g. river, small scale orography, urban surfaces etc).
• Potential to better represent small scale meteorological features e.g. convection, boundary layer etc.
• Would hope to eventually couple to hydrology, air quality etc.
• Potential uses in short range forecasting and climatological applications.
• Don’t talk about precipitation today (see other talk but may be problematic).

100m London Model Configuration
• Taken from from 100m models (COLPEX, Convection):
• 140 levels (doubled 70 level set).
• No convection scheme
• 3d Smagorinsky mixing (as oposed to 2d + BL in UKV)
• 3s timestep
• Best urban scheme (as UKV operational)
• Nested in 500m which is nested in UKV (1.5km UK model)

Conclusions
• We are experimenting with a 100m version of Unified Model over London with similar configuration to other high resolution versions
•Reasonable attempt to capture convective boundary layer in a couple of cases.
• Represents orographic flows and sea breezes in agreement with observations.

Future Work
• Quantify behaviour of convective BL at different resolutions compared to observations.
• Understand in more detail behaviour of model.
• Urban/rural comparisons.
• Look for small scale features that might be better resolved (e.g. due to river, parks etc).
• Address deficiencies of representation of surface.
