Abstract
To reduce hurricane intensity bias, the NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS) planetary boundary layer (PBL) and convection schemes have been updated with a new parameterization for environmental wind shear and enhanced entrainment and detrainment rates with increasing PBL or subcloud mean turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in their updraft and downdraft mass-flux schemes. Tests with the GFS show that the updated schemes significantly reduce the hurricane intensity bias by reducing the momentum transport in the mass-flux schemes. Along with the reduced intensity bias, the hurricane intensity and track errors have also been reduced. On the other hand, to reduce the PBL overgrowth over areas with a higher vegetation fraction or larger surface roughness, the entrainment rate in the PBL mass-flux scheme has also been increased with increasing vegetation fraction or increasing surface roughness. This entrainment rate increase has increased near-surface moisture, and as a result, helped to increase the underestimated convective available potential energy (CAPE) forecasts over the continental United States.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
