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

Figure 4

Horizontal distribution of FY-3B-MWRI (first column) retrieved and model-simulated surface precipitation rate (mm/h) produced with the supertyphoon Neoguri, using the cloud microphysical schemes of WSM6 (second column), GSFC (third column), THOM (fourth column), MORR (fifth column), and NSSL (sixth column). Note that the first to fourth rows correspond to the time of FY-3B overpasses of 0703D, 0705A, 0707A, and 0708D.
