Cirrus Cloud Properties from a Cloud-Resolving Model Simulation Compared to Cloud Radar Observations
Cloud radar data collected at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program’s Southern Great Plains site were used to evaluate the properties of cirrus clouds that occurred in a cloud-resolving model (CRM) simulation of the 29-day summer 1997 intensive observation period (IOP). The simulation was ‘‘forced’’ by the large-scale advective temperature and water vapor tendencies, horizontal wi...
متن کاملSensitivity of WRF cloud microphysics to simulations of a severe thunderstorm event over Southeast India
In the present study, we have used the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to simulate the features associated with a severe thunderstorm observed over Gadanki (13.5 N, 79.2 E), over southeast India, on 21 May 2008 and examined its sensitivity to four different microphysical (MP) schemes (Thompson, Lin, WSM6 and Morrison). We have used the WRF model with three nested domains with the i...
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 کاملExplicit simulations of aerosol physics in a cloud-resolving model: a sensitivity study based on an observed convective cloud
The role of convection in introducing aerosols and promoting the formation of new particles to the upper troposphere has been examined using a cloud-resolving model coupled with an interactive explicit aerosol module. A baseline simulation suggests good agreement in the upper troposphere between modeled and observed results including concentrations of aerosols in different size ranges, mole fra...
متن کاملSingle-Column Model Simulations of Cloud Sensitivity to Forcing
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program single-column modeling (SCM) framework has to date used several fairly brief intensive observing periods (IOPs) to evaluate the performance of climate model parameterizations. With only a few weather events in each IOP, it is difficult to separate errors associated with the instantaneous dynamical forcing from errors in parameterization. It is...
