Abstract: igh-resolution simulations of a Southern Ocean cyclone are compared to satellite-derived observations of liquid water path, cloud-top properties and top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes. We focus on the cold-air outflow ...

Abstract: new coupled cloud physics?radiation parameterization of the bulk optical properties of ice clouds is presented. The parameterization is consistent with assumptions in the cloud physics scheme regarding particle size ...

Abstract: Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) play an important role in modulating the global water cycle and energy balance and frequently generate high-impact weather events. The majority of existing literature studying MCS activity ...

Abstract: AbstractA high-impact extreme precipitation event over the Yangtze River valley (YRV) in the midsummer of 2016 is simulated using the Climate System Model of Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS-CSM). After ...

Abstract: warm bias in tropical tropopause temperature is found in the Met Office Unified Model (MetUM), in common with most models from phase 5 of CMIP (CMIP5). Key dynamical, microphysical, and radiative processes influencing the ...
