Table 2.
Simulation name | Description of INP treatment in model |
---|---|
dbfc | Dust <3 monolayers sulfate; 0.1% of biomass aerosols; standard fossil/biofuel aerosols; aircraft soot incorporated in contrails (with <3 monolayers of sulfate) |
d100bfc | As in dbfc but with 100% of dust as INP |
dbfa | As in dbfc but with 100% of aircraft soot as INP |
dbfcs30 | As in dbfc but adding 30% of SOA particles as INP |
dbfc_hom | No heterogeneous nucleation in model |
dbfc_dt | As in dbfc but varying the time interval for the updraft velocity |
dbfc_w | As in dbfc but using a constant updraft velocity based on the local standard deviation from the parameterization |
dbfc_mg10 | As in dbfc but using a cutoff for moving cloud ice to snow of 400 μm instead of 250 μm |
dbfSO4_mg10 | As in dbfc without aircraft soot and including crystalline ammonium sulfate and using a cutoff for moving cloud ice to snow of 400 μm |
Note. The default version of the cloud microphysical scheme is Morrison and Gettelman (2008; version 1.5 or mg15) if not specified in the simulation name; mg10 is version 1.0 of the scheme. SOA = secondary organic aerosol; INP = ice nuclei particle.
