DOI: 10.1002/qj.3187
Abstract: A recent idealized numerical study of tropical cyclogenesis and subsequent intensification using warm-rain-only microphysics is extended to examine the modifications brought about by a representation of ice processes. It is found that the time taken… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022gl098863
Abstract: By combining measurements from MODIS and the CloudSat radar, we develop a parameterization scheme to quantify the combined microphysical controls by liquid water path (LWP) and cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) of the probability of… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/acp-21-3103-2021
Abstract: Abstract. In the current global climate models (GCMs), the nonlinearity effect of subgrid cloud variations on the parameterization of warm-rain process, e.g., the autoconversion rate, is often treated by multiplying the resolved-scale warm-rain process rates… read more here.
