Description:A new method for parameterizing turbulent fluxes of momentum, heat, and moisture within the stable surface layer is presented. The method is designed to supplant the existing scheme used in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory's 'E21 physics package. The existing E2 scheme is incompatible with the turbulent transfer coefficients that are used in the current version of the Medium Range Forecast Model (the MRF86). The new method unifies the subdivided stable regime of the E2 physics and provides a compatible, economical, and noniterative technique that does not possess the limitation of a finite critical bulk Richardson number.
