Dear RegCNET Members,<br><br>A manuscript describing and validating the addition of a new boundary layer parameterization to RegCM--the UW PBL--has been posted to Geophysical Model Development Discussions.  This manuscript will serve as the main reference for studies that use RegCM with the UW PBL.  If all goes well, I believe that the UW PBL should be included as an option in the next major release of RegCM.<br>

<br>GMD uses an open-review process, where the manuscript is posted as a discussion article prior to publishing in GMD; the editors solicit several anonymous reviews, and the general community is also allowed to comment on the work.  The link at the end of this e-mail leads to the discussion paper, and it will permanently lead to the main GMD paper if the manuscript passes the review process.  The paper is under review until February 2012.<br>

<br>Please let me know if you have any questions about this, and I would invite you to use the GMDD commentary process if you have any substantive feedback.<br><br><a href="http://geosci-model-dev-discuss.net/4/3437/2011/gmdd-4-3437-2011.html">http://geosci-model-dev-discuss.net/4/3437/2011/gmdd-4-3437-2011.html</a><br>
