Improving parameterization of ice microphysical processes in Arctic clouds using a synergistic modeling and observational approach (Final Report)
- Pennsylvania State Univ., University Park, PA (United States); Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science, Penn State University
The primary goals of the project were to: 1) Improve the fundamental quantitative models of ice growth processes using ARM radar observations. 2) Better understand the growth of ice particle populations through vapor deposition, riming, and aggregation in Arctic clouds using a new particle-property microphysical model. 3) Robustly estimate and constrain key unknown model parameters using ARM radar observations combined with the particle-property model to develop an improved parameterization of ice growth processes for traditional bulk parameterizations used in cloud and climate models.
