abstract

  • The present model continues the resolved-convection approach with a prognostic, axisymmetric, nonhydrostatic model. The microphysics may be run with or without processes associated with frozen precipitation, so that the effect of their inclusion can be evaluated. The parameterization is based upon Lin and includes transformations among suspended water, rain, suspended ice, snow, and graupel. Because of the model's fine resolution, it simulates the axisymmetric, convective-scale structure of the vortex core in detail. These results compare well with recent research aircraft observations.
