There is evidence that RRFS 10-m wind gusts are high biased, particularly in stable conditions. At present, the RRFS 10-m gust calculation uses a "unified" diagnostic (for all UFS applications). In turn, this diagnostic uses an internal calculation of PBL height based on a Richardson-number (Ri) approach.
In the proposed update, RRFS would use the RAP / HRRR diagnostic for 10-m wind gusts. This diagnostic considers the vertical profile of virtual potential temperature (theta-v) to determine a PBL height, rather than Ri.
