Predicting Ice Shape Evolution in a Bulk Microphysics Model

Journal Article Jensen, Anders A. ; Harrington, Jerry Y. ; Morrison, Hugh ; ... - Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences

A novel bulk microphysics scheme that predicts the evolution of ice properties, including aspect ratio (shape), mass, number, size, and density is described, tested, and demonstrated here. The scheme is named the Ice-Spheroids Habit Model with Aspect-Ratio Evolution (ISHMAEL). Ice is modeled as spheroids and is nucleated as one of two species depending on nucleation temperature. Microphysical process rates determine how shape and other ice properties evolve. A third aggregate species is also employed, diversifying ice properties in the model. Tests of ice shape evolution during vapor growth and riming are verified against wind tunnel data, revealing that the modelmore »« less

A Unified Ice Microphysical Parameterization for Numerical Models: Development and Testing with In-situ Data

Technical Report Harrington, Jerry

The primary goal of the project is to develop and test new microphysical parameterizations of ice crystal growth. Over the past 7 years, we have developed a bulk ice microphysical model that evolves a measure of particle shape and density during vapor diffusional growth. The method allows smaller, pristine ice crystals to evolve into larger snow crystals in a more natural fashion than traditional microphysical schemes. In doing so, the new method avoids problems that occur when ice is transferred among pre-defined classes. The new model was developed and tested for vapor grown ice only, and so the goal ofmore »« less

Microphysical Characteristics of Squall-Line Stratiform Precipitation and Transition Zones Simulated Using an Ice Particle Property-Evolving Model

Journal Article Jensen, Anders A. ; Harrington, Jerry Y. ; Morrison, Hugh - Monthly Weather Review

A quasi-idealized 3D squall-line case is simulated using a novel bulk microphysics scheme called the Ice-Spheroids Habit Model with Aspect-ratio Evolution (ISHMAEL). In ISHMAEL, the evolution of ice particle properties (e.g., mass, shape, maximum diameter, density, and fall speed) are predicted during vapor growth, sublimation, riming, and melting, allowing ice properties to evolve from various microphysical processes without needing separate unrimed and rimed ice categories. ISHMAEL produces both a transition zone and an enhanced stratiform precipitation region, and ice particle properties are analyzed to determine the characteristics of ice that lead to the development of these squall-line features.
