Generalization and application of the flux-conservative thermodynamic equations in the AROME model of the ALADIN system

General yet compact equations are presented to express the thermodynamic impact of physical parameterizations in a NWP or climate model. By expressing the equations in a flux-conservative formulation, the conservation of mass and energy by the physics parameterizations is a built-in feature of the s...
