The CWRF has been developed as the Climate extension of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF, Skamarock et al. 2008) by incorporating numerous improvements in representation of physical processes and integration of external (top, surface, lateral) forcings that are crucial to climate scales, including interactions between land–atmosphere–ocean, convection–microphysics and cloud–aeros...

The TwO-Moment Aerosol Sectional (TOMAS) microphysics model has been integrated into the state-ofthe-art general circulation model, GISS ModelE2. This paper provides a detailed description of the ModelE2-TOMAS model and evaluates the model against various observations including aerosol precursor gas concentrations, aerosol mass and number concentrations, and aerosol optical depths. Additionally...

Clouds simulated by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model are composited to derive the typical organization of clouds surrounding a midlatitude baroclinic system. Comparison of this composite of about 200 cyclones with that based on satellite data reveals that the ECMWF model quite accurately simulates the general positioning of clouds relative to a low pressure c...

Abstract. Aerosol–cloud interactions remain largely uncertain with respect to predicting their impacts on weather and climate. Cloud microphysics parameterization is one of the factors leading large uncertainty. Here, we investigate anthropogenic aerosols convective intensity precipitation a thunderstorm occurring 19 June 2013 over Houston Chemistry version Weather Research Forecast model (WRF-...
