Simulating Heavy Meiyu Rainfall: A Note on the Choice of the Model Microphysics Scheme

Figure 12

Time series of the mean contents of sink and source terms of ice-phase hydrometeors in heavy rainfall areas (R greater than 50 mm/24 (h) from 1200 UTC on 1 July to 1200 UTC on 2 July 2016: (a) melting of ice-phase hydrometeors; (b) deposition of vapor; (c) riming (for raindrops); (d) riming (for cloud droplets). The black, red, and blue lines indicate the Morrison, Thompson, and MY schemes, respectively.
