| 42 | | * Offline nesting implemented, using time-dependent boundary conditions at the model boundaries as well as time-dependent geostrophic forcing can be derived from the output of the larger-scale COSMO model via the pre-processing tool INIFOR. Information is stored in dyanmic driver file. In order to initiate turbulence, a synthetic turbulence generator is applied at all lateral boundaries, which imposes turbulent fluctuations onto the COSMO-derived boundary values of the three velocity components, while the strength of fluctuations depend on the actual atmospheric conditions. |

| | 33 | * Nesting is now available for particles (LPM/LCM). |
| | 81 | * ''Cloud microphysics''': |
| | 82 | * The bulk cloud microphysics model code has been modularized and its capabilities can now be controlled within a new namelist called {{{bulk_cloud_parameters}}}. |
| | 83 | * It is now allowed to use the bulk cloud model and use complex topography at the same time. |
| | 84 | |
| | 85 | * '''Urban surface model''' (PALM-4U): |
| | 86 | * Calculation of short wave radiation inside window layers updates |
| | 87 | * Increased building database to provide parameters for all wall and window height levels (ground floor, above ground floor, roof level) |
| | 88 | * Window surface and layers temperatures are fixed during spinup to make larger time step {{{dt_spinup}}} possible |
| | 89 | * Added latent heat flux for green wall and roof tiles and output variables {{{usm_qsws_*}}}, usm_{{{qsws_veg_*}}}, {{{usm_qsws_liq_*}}} |
| | 90 | * Added calculation of latent heat flux for green roofs and walls |
