TWP-ICE/ACTIVE MONSOON CASE STUDY


Number concentration of particles larger than 100 microns in maximum dimension from CIP measurements (white symbols) versus sample case study simulations (colored lines and symbols):



Comments:
  • Profiles are shown for the four flights during which Proteus in situ data are available. In situ data are provided by Greg McFarquhar and Matt Freer. Values represent 10-second averages from the cloud imaging probe (CIP).
  • All measurement data have been downloaded from the DOE ARM data archive (www.arm.gov) and use in publications is subject to the policies described there. Any errors in plotting or representation shown here should be blamed on Ann Fridlind.
  • Model results are derived from fields reported at 3-hour frequency and 1-km resolution over a domain size of about 37,000 km2. Range of values shown at each level for each time period.
Preliminary summary:
  • Both in situ data and model results (derived from bulk microphysics assumptions) require additional evaluation.
