• BRAMS Version 3.2 is RAMS Version 5.04 plus
• Shallow Cumulus and New Deep Convection
• (mass flux scheme with several
  closures,
• based on
  Grell et al., 2002).
• Binary reproducibility (same results independent
  of processors)
• New 1 km vegetation data derived from
• IGBP 2.0 IBGE/INPE dataset LEAF-3
• with observed parameters for
  South American biomes
• Enhanced Portability and Software Quality
• Heterogeneous Soil Moisture assimilation
  procedure
• Operational assimilation cycle and Forecast
  procedure
• SIB2 surface parameterization

• BRAMS Version 4.0 is BRAMS Version 3.2 plus
• Enhanced Portability and Software Quality
• (new procedure to read RAMSIN,
• corrections needed by others
  compilators,
• new scheme to build
  executable code, etc).
• Improved serial and parallel performance
• Inclusion of TEB (Town Energy Budget)
• and SPM (Simplified Photochemical
  Model) scheme.
• Inclusion of CATT scheme
• (Coupled Aerosol and Tracer
  Transport)
• Corrections in Shaved ETA scheme based on RAMS
  6.x.
• Corrections in LEAF scheme based on RAMS 6.x.
