A Numerical Study on the Impact of Hygroscopic Seeding on the Development of Cloud Particle Spectra
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a detailed microphysical model embedded into a parcel dynamics, a number of sensitivity studies were effected to test hygroscopic seeding of warm and mixed-phase clouds, varying the size distribution and total number ...
Development of a Detailed Microphysics Cirrus Model Tracking Aerosol Particles’ Histories for Interpretation of the Recent INCA Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cirrus clouds play an important role in the earth?s energy balance. To quantify their impact, information is needed on their microstructure and more precisely on the number and size of the ice crystals. With the anthropogenic ...
On the Realism of the Rain Microphysics Representation of a Squall Line in the WRF Model. Part II: Sensitivity Studies on the Rain Drop Size Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA comparison between retrieved properties of the rain drop size distributions (DSDs) from multifrequency cloud radar observations and WRF Model results using either the Morrison or the Thompson bulk microphysics ...
On the Realism of the Rain Microphysics Representation of a Squall Line in the WRF Model. Part I: Evaluation with Multifrequency Cloud Radar Doppler Spectra Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study investigates how multifrequency cloud radar observations can be used to evaluate the representation of rain microphysics in the WRF Model using two bulk microphysics schemes. A squall line observed over ...
The Catastrophic Flash-Flood Event of 8–9 September 2002 in the Gard Region, France: A First Case Study for the Cévennes–Vivarais Mediterranean Hydrometeorological Observatory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cévennes?Vivarais Mediterranean Hydrometeorological Observatory (OHM-CV) is a research initiative aimed at improving the understanding and modeling of the Mediterranean intense rain events that frequently result in ...
