Simulations 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 کاملAtmospheric Electricity and Cloud Microphysics
The terrestrial atmospheric electrical system covers a range of dimensional scales, from charged molecular clusters to convective cloud systems. Charge-exchange associated with thunderclouds leads to positive charge in the upper conductive regions of the atmosphere and a net negative charge on the planetary surface. In non-thunderstorm regions, a vertical ionic current flows, replenishing the a...
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 کاملBlack carbon radiative heating effects on cloud microphysics and implications for the aerosol indirect effect: 2. Cloud microphysics
This work examines the effect of black carbon (BC) radiative heating on cloud droplet formation. Changes in cloud droplet concentration and cloud albedo due to the presence of black carbon are computed for different cases of aerosol size distributions, meteorological conditions, BC mixing state, and aerosol composition. We examine the effect of three new mechanisms (that result from BC heating)...
متن کاملRevision and clarification of ‘‘A general hydrodynamic theory for mixed-phase microphysics’’
Some problems of the interpretation and the application of previously published general hydrodynamic theory of mixed-phase microphysics are addressed. Some restrictions in the applicability of the previous work, especially regarding aggregation, are removed using new definitions, and some minor errors are corrected. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
