Microphysical processes producing high ice water contents (HIWCs) in tropical convective clouds during the HAIC-HIWC field campaign: dominant role of secondary ice production

Abstract: Abstract. High ice water content (HIWC) regions in tropical deep convective clouds, composed of high concentrations of small ice crystals, were not reproduced by Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations at 1 km horizontal grid spacing using four different bulk microphysics schemes (i.e., the WRF single‐moment 6‐class microphysics scheme (WSM6), the Morrison scheme and the Predicted Particle Properties (P3) scheme with one- and two-ice options) for conditions encountered during the High Altitude… Show more

“…These were different from the underestimated ice number concentrations in convective clouds simulated by P3‐1CATEGORY and P3‐2CATEGORY with WRF model in Huang et al. (2021) due to the lack of secondary ice production (Huang et al., 2022). Overestimated number concentrations of ice particles with small size led to the smaller simulated effective diameters than that observed (Figure 14e).…”

“…As shown in Figure 14d, Chem53 (121,758 m −3 ) simulated the maximum averaged number concentration of ice particles at the size of 0.1-3 mm, followed by WRF53 (77,111 m −3 ), Chem52 (8,049 m −3 ), Chem51 (8,104 m −3 ), WRF52 (7,627 m −3 ), WRF51 (7,577 m −3 ), and observation (1,289.56 m −3 ). These were different from the underestimated ice number concentrations in convective clouds simulated by P3-1CATEGORY and P3-2CATEGORY with WRF model in Huang et al (2021) due to the lack of secondary ice production (Huang et al, 2022).

“…These results are important as increasing the INP concentration does not always increase ICNC, especially given the un- Several studies have included M2 in their simulations, although usually combined with M1 (Phillips et al, 2018;Sotiropoulou et al, 2020;Qu et al, 2020;Georgakaki et al, 2022;Zhao and Liu, 2022;Huang et al, 2022;Karalis et al, 2022) which is equivalent to our M1+M2 simulations. For our idealised cloud conditions, the contribution from our M1+M2 simulations appears to be derived from the M2 aspect.…”

“…The largest contribution of M2 came from the transition simulations but this only contributed a small fraction compared to M1. The other studies which included M2 either did not provide a breakdown of the contribution from M1 and M2 Liu, 2021, 2022;Huang et al, 2022;Karalis et al, 2022) or was an ineffective ice enhancement mechanism (Sotiropoulou et al, 2020;Georgakaki et al, 2022).…”
