A Double-Moment Multiple-Phase Four-Class Bulk Ice Scheme. Part I: Description
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed ice-phase bulk microphysical scheme was developed for simulating the hydrometeor distributions of convective and stratiform precipitation in different large-scale environmental conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different ice schemes (i.e., three-class ice scheme, four-class two-moment ice scheme) on precipitation processes is examined and compared.
Heating, Moisture, and Water Budgets of Tropical and Midlatitude Squall Lines: Comparisons and Sensitivity to Longwave Radiation
Wei-Kuo Tao,Joanne Simpson,Chung-Hsiung Sui,B. Ferrier,S. Lang,John R. Scala,Ming-Dah Chou,Kenneth E. Pickering +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D time-dependent and nonhydrostatic numerical cloud model is used to estimate the heating, moisture, and water budgets in the convective and stratiform regions for both a tropical and a midlatitude squall line.

TL;DR: In this article, six different convective-stratiform separation techniques, including a new technique that utilizes the ratio of vertical and terminal velocities, are compared and evaluated using two-dimensional numerical simulations of a tropical [Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE)] and midlatitude continental [Preliminary Regional Experiment for STORM-Central (PRESTORM)] squall line.

Vertical Profiles of Latent Heat Release and Their Retrieval for TOGA COARE Convective Systems Using a Cloud Resolving Model, SSM/I, and Ship-borne Radar Data
Wei-Kuo Tao,S. Lang,Joanne Simpson,William S. Olson,Daniel E. Johnson,B. Ferrier,Christian D. Kummerow,Robert F. Adler +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the latent heating profiles associated with three (TOGA COARE) Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment active convective episodes (December 10-17 1992, December 19-27 1992, and February 9-13 1993) and retrieved by using the Goddard Convective and Stratiform Heating (CSH) algorithm.
