Abstract: This study analyzes the occurrence of the visibility (Vis) versus precipitation rates (PR) for rain and versus relative humidity (RH) from surface observations that were collected during the Fog Remote Sensing and Modeling ...

Abstract: he predicted particle properties (P3) scheme introduced in Part I of this series represents all ice hydrometeors using a single ?free? category, in which the bulk properties evolve smoothly through changes in the prognostic ...

Abstract: The computation of hydrometeor sedimentation in one-moment, two-moment, and three-moment bulk microphysics parameterizations is examined in the context of a 1D model, with no other microphysical processes active. The ...

Abstract: A mesoscale simulation of the 19?21 July 1996 Saguenay flood cyclone was performed using the Canadian Mesoscale Compressible Community (MC2) model to study the processes leading to the explosive development and the large ...

Abstract: ulk microphysics parameterizations play an increasingly important role for quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF) in operational numerical weather prediction (NWP). For wintertime, numerical prediction of snowfall ...

Abstract: Many two-moment bulk schemes use a three-parameter gamma distribution of the form N(D) = N0Dαe??D to describe the size spectrum of a given hydrometeor category. These schemes predict changes to the mass content and the ...

Abstract: With increasing computer power, explicit microphysics schemes are becoming increasingly important in atmospheric models. Many schemes have followed the approach of Kessler in which one moment of the hydrometeor size ...

Abstract: With continuous increase in the resolution of operational numerical weather prediction models, grid-scale saturation schemes that model cloud microphysics are becoming increasingly important. In Parts I and II of this ...

Abstract: This is the fourth in a series of papers exploring the effects of the number of predicted moments in bulk microphysics schemes. In Part III, the three-moment version of a new multimoment scheme was used to simulate a severe ...

Abstract: This paper reports the first evaluation of the Milbrandt?Yau multimoment bulk microphysics scheme against in situ microphysical measurements. The full triple-moment version of the scheme was used to simulate a case of ...
