Collaborative Research: Reducing tropical precipitation biases in CESM — Tests of unified parameterizations with ARM observations
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Washington, DC (United States)
The primary objective of this proposal was to quantify and understand biases in the diurnal cycle of precipitation over land and in the frequency of occurrence of light precipitation. The two specific NOAA/ESRL roles were: to use a cloud-resolving model (WRF) to understand the role of microphysics in this bias. In particular we were concerned that the microphysical representations in cloud models might display sensitivity to aerosol loadings; Analyze radar, precipitation, and radiosonde observations from TWP-ICE and compare the spatial distribution and other precipitation characteristics to those generated by WRF; and Facilitate CLUBB development for use in GCMs
