The Impact of the Ice Phase and Radiation on a Midlatitude Squall Line System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional cloud model is used to study the interrelationships among cloud microphysics, radiation, and dynamics in a midlatitude broken-line squall system. The impact of the ice phase, longwave and shortwave radiation ...
Preliminary Study of California Wintertime Model Wet Bias
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model version 3.0.1 is used in both short-range (days) and long-range (years) simulations to explore the California wintertime model wet bias. California is divided into four ...
Modeling of a Tropical Squall Line in Two Dimensions: Sensitivity to Radiation and Comparison with a Midlatitude Case
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional cloud model is used to study a tropical oceanic squall-line system. The dynamical and microphysical structures of the simulated squall-line system and the impact of environmental wind profiles on these ...
Improvements of an Ice-Phase Microphysics Parameterization for Use in Numerical Simulations of Tropical Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is important to properly simulate the extent and ice water content of tropical anvil clouds in numerical models that explicitly include cloud formation because of the significant effects that these clouds have on the ...
Evaluation of an Urban Canopy Parameterization in a Mesoscale Model Using VTMX and URBAN 2000 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A modified urban canopy parameterization (UCP) is developed and evaluated in a three-dimensional mesoscale model to assess the urban impact on surface and lower-atmospheric properties. This parameterization accounts for ...
A Microphysical Retrieval Scheme for Continental Low-Level Stratiform Clouds: Impacts of the Subadiabatic Character on Microphysical Properties and Radiation Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using measurements from the Department of Energy?s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program, a modified ground-based remote sensing technique is developed and evaluated to study the impacts of the subadiabatic character ...
