Added K-F2 PGI-MPI 36/12 graphics showing more precip than K-F2 using OpenMP.

36-km

Assessment: The really big differences in these plots is the convection near the Great Salt Lake.

12-km

18-hour Grell Fcst
18-hour K-F Fcst
18-hour K-F2 Fcst -- used OpenMP
18-hour K-F2 Fcst -- used MPI with PGI compilers
18-hour Fcst using Grell on 36-km domain only
Loop of all 3-hour Grell precip
Loop of all 3-hour K-F precip
Loop of all 3-hour K-F2 precip -- used OpenMP
Loop of all 3-hour K-F2 precip -- used MPI with PGI compilers
Loop of all 3-hour precip using Grell on 36-km domain only
All Grell Graphics
All K-F Graphics
All K-F2 Graphics -- used OpenMP
All K-F2 Graphics -- used MPI with PGI compilers
All Graphics using Grell on 36-km domain only

Assessment: Here, we see the Utah differences and some differences around our area of interest. The Grell locations seem better though precip amounts in Washington are less. Conclusion 2: Not having a cumulus parameterization on for the 12-km domain kills the Washington convection. Conclusion 3: Note the differences at hour 21 of the KF2 run with OpenMP and run with PGI-MPI!

4-km

18-hour Fcst with Grell on 36 and 12-km Domains only
18-hour Fcst with K-F on 36 and 12-km Domains only
18-hour Fcst with Grell on 36-km domain only
18-hour Fcst with K-F2 on 36 and 12-km Domains only -- used MPI with PGI compilers
18-hour Fcst with Grell on all Domains
Prior to 6/21/2004 this was mislabeled as though Grell was turned off on the 4-km domain
18-hour Fcst with K-F on all Domains
18-hour Fcst with K-F2 on 36 and 12-km Domains and Grell on 4-km Domains
Loop of all 4-km 3-hour precip with Grell on 36 and 12-km Domains only
Loop of all 4-km 3-hour precip with K-F on 36 and 12-km Domains only
Loop of all 4-km 3-hour precip with Grell on 36-km Domain only
Loop of all 4-km 3-hour precip with Grell on all Domains
Prior to 6/21/2004 this was mislabeled as though Grell was turned off on the 4-km domain
Loop of all 4-km 3-hour precip with K-F on all Domains
All 4-km Graphics with Grell on 36 and 12-km Domains only
All 4-km Graphics with K-F on 36 and 12-km Domains only
All 4-km Graphics with Grell on 36-km Domain only
All 4-km Graphics with Grell on all Domains
All 4-km Graphics with K-F on all Domains

Assessment: We actually get convection in Washington with Grell!
