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

Figure 5

Horizontal distribution of FY-3B retrieved IWP (a) and model-simulated frozen precipitation (graupel and snow) produced with the supertyphoon Neoguri, using the cloud microphysical schemes of (b) WSM6, (c) GSFC, (d) THOM, (e) MORR, and (f) NSSL, based on matched instances of 0705A. Three white rings are 1°, 2.5°, and 4°radius annuli, respectively.
