Intercomparison of Cloud Properties in DYAMOND Simulations over the Atlantic Ocean

We intercompared the cloud properties of DYnamics Atmospheric general circulation Modeled On Non-hydrostatic Domains (DYAMOND) simulation output over Atlantic Ocean. The domain averaged outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) is relatively similar across models, but net shortwave at top atmosphere (NSR) shows large differences among models. models capture triple modes systems corresponding to shallow, congestus, and high clouds, although their partition in these three categories strongly model dependent. simulated height shallow congestus peaks more robust than peak whereas water content exhibits larger intermodel does ice content.
