Cloud system resolving model study of the roles of deep convection for photo-chemistry in the TOGA COARE/CEPEX region
A cloud system resolving model including photochemistry (CSRMC) has been developed based on a prototype version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and is used to study influences of deep convection on chemistry in the TOGA COARE/CEPEX region. Lateral boundary conditions for trace gases are prescribed from global chemistry-transport simulations, and the vertical advection of tra...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Cloud system resolving model study of the roles of deep convection for photo-chemistry in the TOGA COARE/CEPEX region” by M. Salzmann et al
We appreciate the review by this referee. Major comments: The following sentences have been added on p.407, line 8 of the original manuscript: "Unfortunately, chemistry and flash rate observations are not available for the episode (19–26 December 1992) simulated in this model sensitivity study. In order to constrain the simulated flash rates and for the discussion of our chemistry results, we i...
متن کاملCloud Resolving Studies of Trace Gas Scavenging and Photochemistry
A cloud resolving online chemistry transport model was developed based on WRF and has been used to study the transport of trace gases, the scavenging of soluble trace gases, and influences of lightning produced nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2) on local photochemistry. This presentation mainly focuses on the influence of the retention coefficient (i.e. the fraction of a dissolved trace gas which is ...
متن کاملCloud-to-Ground Lightning Observations from TOGA COARE: Selected Results and Lightning Location Algorithms
Recently, observations of electrified oceanic convection and associated cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning were obtained over the tropical western Pacific Ocean during TOGA COARE (Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment) . During COARE, observations of convection were made using a variety of instrument platforms including ship and airborne Doppler radars, an ad...
متن کاملSupplement to: Cloud system resolving model study of the roles of deep convection for photo-chemistry in the TOGA COARE/CEPEX region
The meteorological component of the CSRMC is based on a modified height coordinate prototype version of the nonhydrostatic, compressible Weather and Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The WRF model is a community model which is being developed in a collaborative effort by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), the Air Fo...
