Modeling clouds observed at SHEBA using a bulk microphysics parameterization implemented into a single-column model
[1] A single-column model coupled to a bulk microphysics parameterization (with prognostic cloud liquid water, cloud ice, rain, and snow mixing ratios) is evaluated using cloud properties retrieved at the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean experiment (SHEBA) during the period of 1 April to 16 May 1998. Overall, the model accurately simulates the cloud boundaries and total cloud fraction, b...
متن کاملSimulations of the glaciation of a frontal mixed-phase cloud with the Explicit Microphysics Model
Simulations with the Explicit Microphysics Model (EMM) of a case of lightly precipitating, glaciated stratiform cloud are presented. This frontal cloud was observed by the UK Met Of ce C-130 aircraft and the dual-polarization radar at Chilbolton in southern England. The Hallett–Mossop (H-M) process was found to cause extremely high number concentrations of crystal columns of up to almost 1000 ...
متن کاملEvaluation of A New Mixed-Phase Cloud Microphysics Parameterization with the NCAR Climate Atmospheric Model (CAM3) and ARM Observations
Mixed-phase clouds are composed of a mixture of cloud droplets and ice crystals. The cloud microphysics in mixed-phase clouds can significantly impact cloud optical depth, cloud radiative forcing, and cloud coverage. However, the treatment of mixed-phase clouds in most current climate models is crude and the partitioning of condensed water into liquid droplets and ice crystals is prescribed as ...
متن کاملA new unified mixed-phase particle fall speed in bulk microphysics parameterizations
Bulk microphysical parameterizations that represent mixed-phase processes divide particles into categories such as snow and graupel or hail. The distinction between these is in the primary habit of the particles, where snow is assumed to be unrimed ice crystals or aggregates of crystals that have predominantly grown by deposition of ice, while graupel and hail have grown mostly by collection of...
متن کاملEffects of Cloud Parameterization on Radiation and Precipitation: A Comparison Between Single-Moment Microphysics and Double-Moment Microphysics
This study compares a single-moment microphysics scheme to a double-moment microphysics scheme using four observed cases of a mesoscale cloud system. Previous studies comparing a single-moment microphysics scheme to a doublemoment microphysics scheme have focused on microphysical processes or overall dynamics, precipitation and morphology of cloud systems. However, they have not focused on how ...
