Table 2:
Numerical experiments performed in this study. “P” and “T” stand for the PRESTORM and TOGA COARE cases, respectively. “low” and “high” stand for low and high CCN concentration, respectively. “Warm” is for warm rain only, and “evap” indicates reduced evaporative cooling.
Case Name | Description | Domain mean rainfall (mm) |

P-low | PRESTORM continental case clean/background CCN over land | 58.4 |
P-high | 10 times CCN concentration as P-low | 40.7 |
P-low-warm | Same as P-low except for all ice microphysics are off | 60.7 |
P-high-warm | Same as P-high except for all ice microphysics are off | 61.8 |
P-low-evap | Same as P-low except for evaporation is turned off from the surface to 3km, between 1 and 3 hours | 51.0 |
T-low | TOGA-COARE maritime case clean/background CCN over ocean | 19.0 |
T-high | 10 times CCN concentration as T-low | 33.0 |
T-low-warm | Same as T-low except for all ice microphysics are off | 18.0 |
T-high-warm | Same as T-high except for all ice microphysics are off | 24.7 |
T-high-evap | Same as T-high except for evaporation is turned off from the surface to 4km, between 0 and 1.5 hours | 26.4 |
