How the representation of microphysical processes affects tropical condensate in the global storm-resolving model ICON [PDF]
Cloud microphysics is a prime example of processes that remain unresolved in atmospheric modeling at storm-resolving resolution. In this study, we explore how uncertainties in the representation of microphysical processes affect the tropical condensate ...

Cirrus dominate the longwave radiative budget of the tropics. For the first time, the variability in cirrus properties and longwave cloud radiative effects (CREs) that arises from using different microphysical schemes within nudged global storm‐resolving

Muted Amazon Rainfall Response to Deforestation in a Global Storm‐Resolving Model
Ongoing Amazon deforestation has raised concerns about forest dieback via induced precipitation changes. Previous studies have found that complete deforestation reduces evapotranspiration, contributing to low precipitation rates that would limit the ...

Investigating the sign of stratocumulus adjustments to aerosols in the ICON global storm-resolving model [PDF]
Aerosols can cause brightening of stratocumulus clouds, thereby cooling the climate. Observations and models disagree on the magnitude of this cooling, partly because of the aerosol-induced liquid water path (LWP) adjustment, with climate models ...

Horizontal Grid Spacing Convergence of Aquaplanet Experiments Using a Global‐Storm Resolving Model
Aquaplanet experiments are used to investigate the statistical convergence of the Global Storm‐Resolving model (GSRM) ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) model, under successive, two‐fold horizontal grid spacing refinements from 160 to 1.25 km.

The Land‐Ocean Contrast in Deep Convective Intensity in a Global Storm‐Resolving Model
Observations reveal a clear difference in the intensity of deep convection over tropical land and ocean. This observed land‐ocean contrast provides a natural benchmark for evaluating the fidelity of global storm‐resolving models (GSRMs; global models ...

Introduction to EarthCARE synthetic data using a global storm-resolving simulation [PDF]
Pre-launch simulated satellite data are useful to develop retrieval algorithms and to facilitate the rapid release of retrieval products after launch. Here we introduce the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) EarthCARE synthetic data based on ...

On the Realism of Tropical Cyclone Intensification in Global Storm‐Resolving Climate Models
The physical processes governing a tropical cyclone's lifecycle are largely understood, but key processes occur at scales below those resolved by global climate models. Increased resolution may help simulate realistic tropical cyclone intensification. We

Effects of vertical grid spacing on the climate simulated in the ICON-Sapphire global storm-resolving model [PDF]
Global storm-resolving models (GSRMs) use strongly refined horizontal grids compared with the climate models typically used in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) but employ comparable vertical grid spacings.
