Aerosol–Cloud Interaction in Deep Convective Clouds over the Indian Peninsula Using Spectral (Bin) Microphysics

Numerical simulation of macro- and micro-structures of intense convective clouds with a spectral bin microphysics model

1. Introduction Spectral (bin) microphysical cloud models have been successfully used for the investigation of different microphysical processes (e. Advances in spectral bin microphysics model development have been achieved in China. For example, cloud droplets are categorized into several bins in a one-dimensional time-dependant model for warm clouds (e.g., Xiao et al., 1988a, b). The water dr...

Nowcasting of convective cells over Italian Peninsula

The aim of the study is the individuation of convective cells over the Italian peninsula with the conjunction use of geostationary satellite data (METEOSAT, MSG satellite) in the IR and WV channels and lightning data. We will use GCD (Global Convective Diagnostic) algorithm developed at Aviation Weather Centre (AWC) of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). This algorithm is ba...

Aerosol impacts on clouds and precipitation in eastern China: Results from bin and bulk microphysics

[1] Using the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with a spectral-bin microphysics (“SBM”) and measurements from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Mobile Facility field campaign in China (AMF-China), the authors examine aerosol indirect effects (AIE) in the typical cloud regimes of the warm and cold seasons in Southeast China: deep convective clouds (DCC) and stratus clouds (SC),...

study of the impact of aerosols on microphysics of clouds over tehran

. introduction not only have clouds and precipitation (snow, rain and hail) made up an important part of the subsystem atmospheric phenomena of terrestrial climate, but are also considered as the main components of the water cycle. aerosols play an important role in cloudiness and precipitation. in warm clouds with the same liquid water path, increase in aerosols concentration results in the re...
