RISEvaluation of Microphysics Parameterization for Convective Clouds in the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model CAM5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: physically based two-moment microphysics parameterization scheme for convective clouds is implemented in the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5) to improve the representation of convective clouds and their ...
Characterizing and Understanding Cloud Ice and Radiation Budget Biases in Global Climate Models and Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors present an observationally based evaluation of the vertically resolved cloud ice water content (CIWC) and vertically integrated cloud ice water path (CIWP) as well as radiative shortwave flux downward at the ...
Partitioning Ice Water Content from Retrievals and Its Application in Model Comparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRetrieved bulk microphysics from remote sensing observations is a composite of ice, snow, and graupel in the three-species ice-phase bulk microphysics parameterization. In this study, density thresholds are used ...
The Vertical Structure of Radiative Heating Rates: A Multimodel Evaluation Using A-Train Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We assess the vertical distribution of radiative heating rates (RHRs) in climate models using a multimodel experiment and A-Train satellite observations, for the first time. As RHRs rely on the representation of cloud ...
