Simulating the year to minute wind spectrum with mesoscale‐coupled large‐eddy simulations

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We coupled a large‐eddy simulation (resolution 50 m) to a mesoscale model (resolution 2 km), which takes boundary conditions from the ERA5 reanalysis. When using a large enough mesoscale domain (𝒪(1000 km)), the simulation setup can reproduce the observed temporal wind spectrum reasonably at all scales between one year and one minute. Furthermore, such

The influence of continental sources of aerosols on the marine stratocumulus during FIRE IFO-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The effects of aerosols on the microphysical characteristics of marine stratocumulus clouds can have a significant impact on climate processes through modification of cloud radiative properties.

A review of the FATIMA Yellow Sea field campaign research

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The FATIMA marine fog project took place over the Sable Island region of eastern Canada (summer 2022) and the Yellow Sea of the Republic of Korea (ROK, summer 2023). Its goals are to improve marine fog monitoring and forecasting. Instrumented multiple research vessels, aircraft, tethered balloon and autonomous systems, ocean observation sites, and ...

Microphysical chemistry of fog–aerosol interactions over the northwest Atlantic Ocean during Fatima 2022

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Fifteen size‐resolved aerosol samples collected during marine fog, with adjacent ambient observations, show that coarse sea salt aerosol is rapidly grown and lost in the northwest North Atlantic Ocean except when subject to extreme winds. The persistence of fog in the absence of sea salt is determined by available fine‐mode aerosol, where greater ...

A Microphysics Model of Multicomponent Venus' Clouds With a High‐Accuracy Condensation Scheme

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
Accurate modeling of the Venusian cloud structure remains challenging due to its complex microphysical properties. Condensation primarily determines the cloud particle size distribution within the various cloud layers.

Microphysics and interactions of aerosols and fog on the northwest Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In the Grand Banks, aerosol size distributions were bimodal, aerosol and fog droplet concentrations were low, and fogs were shorter (<12 hours). In contrast, near Sable Island, aerosol size distributions had a single broad mode that was likely influenced by continental emissions, corresponding with higher aerosol and droplet concentrations as well as ...

Scaling of an Atmospheric Model to Simulate Turbulence and Cloud Microphysics in the Pi Chamber

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019
The Pi Cloud Chamber offers a unique opportunity to study aerosol‐cloud microphysics interactions in a steady‐state, turbulent environment. In this work, an atmospheric large‐eddy simulation (LES) model with spectral bin microphysics is scaled down to ...

FIRE Cirrus on October 28, 1986: LANDSAT; ER-2; King Air; theory [PDF]

open access: yes
A simultaneous examination was conducted of cirrus clouds in the FIRE Cirrus IFO-I on 10/28/86 using a multitude of remote sensing and in-situ measurements. The focus is cirrus cloud radiative properties and their relationship to cloud microphysics.

Evaluating the realism of double moment parameterised particle size distributions in a midlatitude frontal ice cloud with complex microphysics

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Uncertainties in the representation of ice particle size distributions (PSDs) cause inaccuracies in parameterisations of clouds. In this study, observed PSDs from a midlatitude frontal case study are compared with gamma PSDs with the same concentration and ice water content.

A multimodel intercomparison study of variable‐resolution global models with grid refinement over the Arctic and Antarctic

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...
