Evaluating a lightning parameterization based on cloud-top height for mesoscale numerical model simulations
The Price and Rind lightning parameterization based on cloud-top height is a commonly used method for predicting flash rate in global chemistry models. As mesoscale simulations begin to implement flash rate predictions at resolutions that partially resolve convection, it is necessary to validate and understand the behavior of this method within such a regime. In this study, we tested the flash ...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new lightning-produced NOx parameterization for cloud resolving models and its associated uncertainties
A new parameterization of the lightning-produced NOx has been developed for cloud-resolving models. This parameterization is based on the unique characteristics of identifying which convective cells are capable of producing lightning based on a vertical velocity threshold and estimating the lightning flash rate in each convective cell from the non-precipitation and precipitation ice mass flux p...
متن کاملParameterization of Ice Growth for Numerical Calculations of Cloud Dynamics
Parametric cquations dcscribing the growth of ice particles in the range 10-”-1 g are presented. Three subrangcs (10-11-5 X 5 X 10-s-10-4, and 10-4-1 g) are used. Thc parametric equations were developed with the aid of a complex method of calculating ice-particle growth. Two approaches to using the parametric equations in a simulation resembling a natural cloud situation are described. One meth...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Evaluation of a new lightning-produced NOx parameterization for cloud
This paper describes a novel parameterization for lightning-produced NOx (LNOx) developed for cloud resolving models (CRM), a topic appropriate for publication in ACP. In addition, sensitivity studies are carried out in large detail to select the most important parameters and to point out which parameter values fit the observations best. Such comprehensive sensitivity studies concerning LNOx pa...
