Short summary
Numerical weather prediction model forecasts at hectometric resolution are now possible. This range of scales is called the "grey zone of turbulence" as turbulence structures are neither mainly resolved nor entirely subgrid. Turbulence parametrizations have to be adapted, and the adaptations at these scales depend on the existing parametrizations at larger or smaller scales. This study explains the modifications in current Météo France models to the grey zone of turbulence.
