Stensrud's article does provide a sufficient background of how parameterizations

affect the NWP. It describe a basic explanation about numerical models for subgrid-scale
processes with schemes. This could be the first step to learn about forecasting models. It’s
well suited to introduce the parameterizations on NWP. Emphasized which part we should
have learned more, how important components of any numerical weather prediction model,
the subgrid-scale parameterization schemes, and the short-analysis.
This journal provides a basic introduction, summarised and compared the models. A
good forecaster should have a well-understanding about sub-grid scale and
parameterizations schemes in order to create a better future. The study objectives clearly
defined, “parameterization is a window for us to examine our most fundamental
understandings of atmospheric processes.”
The method is comparing one to another schemes and parameters. The information is
quite adequate, could lead new researcher to reproduce a better experiment with a better
result.
Yet, I think it required an experienced observer to the the project, because its
important to reconsider which parameters taking main role in an area because we can’t
provide a good forecasting in area we dont really know.
Calculation of the direct component follows Beer’s Law, Narrow- or broad-band
approaches can be used to increase integration speed and accuracy.
Over all it’s good, but it’s essential for the author to make a result of figures
explanation in table so readers got the message easly. The figure isn’t hard to understand,
readers should getting used to it and I don’t think any additional graphics are necessary.
This is paper doesnt used statistical method, I think it’s better if they provide some
statistical data on how good it works in real life. Forecasting needs valid data to prove.
There are limitations of this research, Strenruds found 2 most important yet
computationally expensive parameterization schemes for climate and weather model,
Shortwave and longwave radiation.
The conclusion is straight to the point. A considerable article to those who have to
deal with weather forecast models. As a beginner it helping me a little, at least to
understand the basic.
This journal is on target. Will be very useful to those who interested in NWP or
atmospheric modeling. Good for forecasters, scientist, meteorologist and student.
As a closing, if it’s possible, real data are important to validate the forecasting to see
how good it works on that area. It will make the forecasting as expected.
