The thermo-hydrodynamic equations describing the state of the atmosphere can only be solved numerically with discrete space and time intervals. Therefore the equations have to be averaged over these intervals. Averaging the equations results in covariance products which represent the sub-grid scale (turbulence) contributions to the mean atmospheric flow. Since these covariance products add additional unknowns leading to a closure problem, they have to be parameterised by use of known quantities. The general concept of parameterisation is described on the basis of turbulent transport theory. In this context the two turbulence parameterisation schemes of the Lokal-Modell (LM), the current meso-scale limited area weather forecast model of the German Weather Service (DWD), are discussed in more detail. Differences in the simulated atmospheric states resulting from these schemes are shown in a case study.
