In this event, the performance of model
tested by BIAS, CSI and ETS scores had
shown that KF and GD schemes were good
in predicting light and moderate rain.
Moreover, KF scheme showed better
forecasting skill than GD and BMJ schemes
regarding heavy rain. KF scheme based on
CAPE, which was reformulated into an
entraining-detraining model, with parcel
buoyancy, computed as a function of parcels
mixed laterally between the environment and
the updrafts. The difference was reformulated
to conserve as followings: mass, thermal
energy, mass, and momentum. It contained
the complete treatment of in-cloud physical
processes of currently available convective
parameterizations. Further, downdraft parameterization
allowed better simulation of
mesoscale responses than other schemes
[12]. This might conclude that factor was
one of the main reasons responsible for the
high vertical instability in the atmosphere
over the southern east-coast of Thailand on
this event.
A suggestion for modelers was that KF
scheme was appropriate for using in NWP
model. Both of KF and GD schemes were,
as well, suitable for utilizing to members
in ensemble technique. For the long-term
flood prevention in important cities, the
improvement of irrigation, water management,
and urban planning by mean of NWP data
was essential.
