Satellite-Based Assessment of Various Cloud Microphysics Schemes in Simulating Typhoon Hydrometeors

Figure 10

Joint histograms of the scattering index (SI) and the emission index (EI) for sensitivity tests of computing the SI and EI with all but one hydrometeor species present and comparing those with the experiment that used all of the hydrometeor species, 0705A for instance, within a radius of 400 km from the cyclone center, from top row to bottom row WSM6 (first row), GSFC (second row), THOM (third row), MORR (fourth row), NSSL (fifth row), and observed (z5). The first column is the control run using all hydrometeor species. The other columns represent the calculations without the indicated hydrometeor species (cloud ice (second column)), snow (third column), graupel (fourth column), cloud water (fifth column), and rain (sixth column).
