Phys.org  May 11, 2023 An international team of researchers (USA – Brookhaven National Laboratory, NCAR, UCAR, Canada, Japan) concentrated on several topics that are understudied but hold great potential for further advancing bulk microphysics parameterizations such as multi-moment bulk microphysics parameterizations and the role of the spectral shape of hydrometeor size distributions; discrete vs “continuous” representation of hydrometeor types; turbulence-microphysics interactions etc. and theoretical foundations for the mathematical expressions used to describe hydrometeor size distributions and hydrometeor morphology; and approaches for developing bulk microphysics parameterizations. They presented spectral bin scheme and particle-based scheme (especially, super-droplet method) for representing explicit microphysics […]
