Numerical Simulation of Macro- and Micro-structures of Intense Convective Clouds with a Spectral Bin Microphysics Model

By use of a three-dimensional compressible non-hydrostatic convective cloud model with detailed microphysics featuring spectral bins of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), liquid droplets, ice crystals, snow and graupel particles, the spatial and temporal distributions of hydrometeors in a supercell observed by the (Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study) STEPS triple-radar network are simulated and analyzed. The bin model is also employed to study the effect of CCN concentration on the evolution characteristics of the supercell. It is found that the CCN concentration not only affects the concentration and spectral distribution of water droplets, but also influences the characteristics of ice crystals and graupel particles. With a larger number of CCN, more water droplets and ice crystals are produced and the growth of graupel is restrained. With a small quantity of CCN the production of large size water droplets are promoted by initially small concentrations of water droplets and ice crystals, leading to earlier formation of small size graupel and restraining the recycling growth of graupel, and thus inhibiting the formation of large size graupel (or small size hail). It can be concluded that both the macroscopic airflow and microphysical processes influence the formation and growth of large size graupel (or small size hail). In regions with heavy pollution, a high concentration of CCN may restrain the formation of graupel and hail, and in extremely clean regions, excessively low concentrations of CCN may also limit the formation of large size graupel (hail).     

Two-moment bulk stratiform cloud microphysics in the grid-point atmospheric model of IAP LASG (GAMIL)

A two-moment bulk stratiform microphysics scheme, including recently developed physically-based droplet activation/ice nucleation parameterizations has been implemented into the Grid-point Atmospheric Model of IAP LASG (GAMIL) as an effort to enhance the model’s capability to simulate aerosol indirect effects. Unlike the previous one-moment cloud microphysics scheme, the new scheme produces a reasonable representation of cloud particle size and number concentration. This scheme captures the observed spatial variations in cloud droplet number concentrations. Simulated ice crystal number concentrations in cirrus clouds qualitatively agree with in situ observations. The longwave and shortwave cloud forcings are in better agreement with observations. Sensitivity tests show that the column cloud droplet number concentrations calculated from two different droplet activation parameterizations are similar. However, ice crystal number concentration in mixed-phased clouds is sensitive to different heterogeneous ice nucleation formulations. The simulation with high ice crystal number concentration in mixed-phase clouds has less liquid water path and weaker cloud forcing. Furthermore, ice crystal number concentration in cirrus clouds is sensitive to different ice nucleation parameterizations. Sensitivity tests also suggest that the impact of pre-existing ice crystals on homogeneous freezing in old clouds should be taken into account.

The Global Atmospheric Electrical Circuit and Climate

Evidence is emerging for physical links among clouds, global temperatures, the global atmospheric electrical circuit and cosmic ray ionisation. The global circuit extends throughout the atmosphere from the planetary surface to the lower layers of the ionosphere. Cosmic rays are the principal source of atmospheric ions away from the continental boundary layer: the ions formed permit a vertical conduction current to flow in the fair weather part of the global circuit. Through the (inverse) solar modulation of cosmic rays, the resulting columnar ionisation changes may allow the global circuit to convey a solar influence to meteorological phenomena of the lower atmosphere. Electrical effects on non-thunderstorm clouds have been proposed to occur via the ion-assisted formation of ultra-fine aerosol, which can grow to sizes able to act as cloud condensation nuclei, or through the increased ice nucleation capability of charged aerosols. Even small atmospheric electrical modulations on the aerosol size distribution can affect cloud properties and modify the radiative balance of the atmosphere, through changes communicated globally by the atmospheric electrical circuit. Despite a long history of work in related areas of geophysics, the direct and inverse relationships between the global circuit and global climate remain largely quantitatively unexplored. From reviewing atmospheric electrical measurements made over two centuries and possible paleoclimate proxies, global atmospheric electrical circuit variability should be expected on many timescales.     

Microphysical Observations and Mesoscale Model Simulation of a Warm Fog Case during FRAM Project

The objective of this work is to apply a new microphysical parameterization for fog visibility for potential use in numerical weather forecast simulations, and to compare the results with ground-based observations. The observations from the Fog Remote Sensing And Modeling (FRAM) field which took place during the winter of 2005 – 2006 over southern Ontario, Canada (Phase I) were used in the analysis. The liquid water content (LWC), droplet number concentration (N_d), and temperature (T) were obtained from the fog measuring device (FMD) spectra and Rosemount probe, correspondingly. The visibility (Vis) from a visibility meter, liquid water path from microwave radiometers (MWR), and inferred fog properties such as mean volume diameter, LWC, and N_d were also used in the analysis. The results showed that Vis is nonlinearly related to both LWC and N_d. Comparisons between newly derived parameterizations and the ones already in use as a function of LWC suggested that if models can predict the total N_d and LWC at each time step using a detailed microphysics parameterization, Vis can then be calculated for warm fog conditions. Using outputs from the Canadian Mesoscale Compressible Community (MC2) model, being tested with a new multi-moment bulk microphysical scheme, the new Vis parameterization resulted in more accurate Vis values where the correction reached up to 20 –50%.     

太行山迎风坡降水云微物理结构数值模拟分析

利用MM5模式对太行山迎风坡暴雨过程进行了数值模拟,分析了太行山迎风坡降水的微物理结构特征及山脉对降水的影响。结果表明,降水过程既有太行山地形作用造成的暖云降水又包含汽、水、冰混合的冷云降水,当冰相粒子与液态水的中心上下接近垂直时,1 h降水量最大;地形对于降水增幅作用较大,低层东风遇太行山阻挡辐合抬升形成地形雨;地形造成的弱垂直运动将影响高层上升强度,进而改变水汽分布,并通过微物理过程使得水汽发生相变,该个例中垂直上升运动使得雪和霰相粒子迅速增长,从而导致雨滴增大并克服重力作用下降,在下落过程中捕获低层地形云中水滴变成更大雨滴降落;而在上升过程中水汽凝结释放潜热,对物理量场有一个反馈作用。     

GRAPES双参数云微物理方案的改进和云降水个例模拟研究：GRAPES_SCM对热带对流云个例的模拟研究

应用全球-区域同化预报系统单柱模式(GRAPES_SCM),对热带暖池国际云试验(TWP-ICE)个例进行数值模拟。通过和实际观测资料进行对比,诊断并改进了Liuma云微物理方案对热带对流云微物理特征的模拟能力。结果显示在GRAPES_SCM框架下,Liuma原方案和WSM6(WRF single moment)方案均能呈现出TWP-ICE期间热带云系的发展特征,并能够明显区分试验期间的季风活跃期和季风抑制期。活跃期Liuma原始方案和WSM6方案模拟的冰云组成结构差异显著,在Liuma原始方案所模拟的冰相水凝物分布中,存在冰雪含量过少、霰过多的现象。改进后的Liuma方案对程序中各微物理过程计算顺序进行了优化,改进后霰质量混合比明显减少,冰雪质量混合比明显增加,冰相水凝物分布较合理。     

2019年7月17日江苏东南部特大暴雨的双偏振雷达观测分析

利用S波段双偏振雷达数据,结合再分析数据、自动气象站、探空和二维闪电探测数据,采用多普勒雷达风场反演和粒子相态识别等方法,分析了2019年7月17日江苏省东南部多站破历史记录的超强降水对流风暴的偏振特征和云微物理特征;并选取了打破当地强降水历史记录如皋站和潞城站,分析了影响两站的对流单体的异同。影响如皋的对流风暴几无闪电活动,对流质心接近地面,上升气流相对较弱。且0℃和-35℃层间霰粒子数目相对较少,闪电几乎不存在。在融化层以下,由于强烈的暖雨过程,较大的冰相粒子落下并融化和低层雨滴的聚并增长,导致低层雨滴数量迅速增加,带来地面极端强降水。潞城地区雷暴活动明显,影响其对流风暴发展旺盛。-35～0℃层存在强烈的上升运动,抬升低层大量的液相粒子通过淞附作用形成的霰,并与高层冰晶不断碰撞,在云层中形成强大的电场,产生强烈的负闪,且在地面产生了极强的降水。这表明融化层以上的冰相微观物理过程,对于降水的发生和增强非常重要。
