“…Based on WRF-Chem simulations, Kedia et al (2019a) demonstrated that the feedbacks of sea salt aerosols impacted convective and non-convective precipitation rather variously in different areas of the Indian subcontinent. Jiang et al (2019a, b) also used WRF-Chem with and without sea salt emissions to evaluate the effects of sea salt on rainfall in Guangdong Province of China, but unfortunately, no feedbacks were considered in the simulations. So far there has been no investigation targeting aerosol effects of volcanic ash from eruptions in Asia using coupled models.…”

Abstract. Atmospheric aerosols can exert an influence on meteorology and air quality through aerosol–radiation interaction (ARI) and aerosol–cloud interaction (ACI), and this two-way feedback has been studied by applying two-way coupled meteorology and air quality models. As one of the regions with the highest aerosol loading in the world, Asia has attracted many researchers to investigate the aerosol effects with several two-way coupled models (WRF-Chem, WRF-CMAQ, GRAPES-CUACE, WRF-NAQPMS, and GATOR-GCMOM) over the last decade. This paper attempts to offer a bibliographic analysis regarding the current status of applications of two-way coupled models in Asia, related research focuses, model performances, and the effects of ARI and/or ACI on meteorology and air quality. There were a total of 160 peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2019 in Asia meeting the inclusion criteria, with more than 79 % of papers involving the WRF-Chem model. The number of relevant publications has an upward trend annually, and East Asia, India, and China, as well as the North China Plain are the most studied areas. The effects of ARI and both ARI and ACI induced by natural aerosols (particularly mineral dust) and anthropogenic aerosols (bulk aerosols, different chemical compositions, and aerosols from different sources) are widely investigated in Asia. Through the meta-analysis of surface meteorological and air quality variables simulated by two-way coupled models, the model performance affected by aerosol feedbacks depends on different variables, simulation time lengths, selection of two-way coupled models, and study areas. Future research perspectives with respect to the development, improvement, application, and evaluation of two-way coupled meteorology and air quality models are proposed.

“…Although ice crystal growth and snow aggregation were detected above the melting layer in the same quadrant, IWC was relatively lower than in the upshear‐right outer eyewall. This is because the capability of the relatively weak updrafts to transport the liquid water content vertically and condensation nuclei (e.g., sea‐salt aerosols; Jiang et al., 2019) was not quite vigorous. Thus, melting ice‐type particles were unlikely to contribute to the rainfall enhancement in the upshear‐left quadrant leadingly.…”

Microphysical signatures relevant to the asymmetric convection in the outer eyewall of Super Typhoon Lekima (2019) before its landfall in China were analyzed from ground‐based radar observations. The results indicate that the microphysical characteristics varied in quadrants. In the upshear‐left outer eyewall, the convection was deepened on the inner edge due to the phase locking between vortex Rossby waves (VRWs), and warm rain was the predominant process contributing to the enhancement of rainfall. In contrast, the strongest precipitation occurred on the outer edge of the upshear‐right outer eyewall. In this region, exuberant riming processes and graupel formation prevailed above the melting layer due to the strongest and more outward tilted updrafts induced by the phase locking between the VRWs. A good deal of graupel melted into raindrops, along with significant accretion processes, produced intense rainfall with larger drop sizes.
