Controls on precipitation and cloudiness in simulations of trade-wind cumulus as observed during RICO: CONTROLS ON PRECIPITATION … IN TRADE-WIND CUMULUS
Open accessAbstract
Data from the undisturbed period of the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field study are used to create a test case for large-eddy simulations of shallow, precipitating, trade-wind cumulus. Measurements upon which the test case are based are aug-mented by a regional scale downscaling of meteorological analyses so as to provide forcing data consistent with the measurements. Twelve large-eddy simulations, with a wide range of microphysical representations, are compared to each other, and to independent measurements during RICO. The ensemble average of the simulations plausibly reproduces many features of the observed clouds, including the vertical structure of cloud fraction, profiles of cloud and rain water, and to a lesser degree the population density of rain drops. The simulations do show considerable departures from one another in the representation of the cloud microphysical structure and the ensuant surface precipitation rates. There is a robust tendency for simulations that develop rain to produce a shallower, somewhat more unstable cloud layer. Relations between cloud cover and precipitation are ambiguous.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
