在一个混合阶段云系统的冰水内容(IWC ) 分发被调查使用 CloudSat 数据,飞机大小,和天气研究并且预报(WRF ) 当模特儿。模仿的降水和 IWC 在对雨计量器,卫星,和飞机观察的一般同意。云案例被占优势的冷层和高 IWC 在整个云发展和降水阶段描绘。检索 CloudSat 的产品建议 IWC 从 4.0 ~ 8.0 km 是分布式的,与最大的值(在在云开发的 earlymature 阶段的 5.0-6.0 km 的多达 0.5 g m -3) 。高 IWC (多达 0.8 g m -3) 被在空中的探针也在迟了成熟的阶段在 4.2 和 3.6 km 检测。WRF 模型模拟表明占优势的 riming 在 3.0-6.0 km 便于高 IWC 的快速的累积。
The ice water content (IWC) distribution in a mixed-phase cloud system was investigated using CloudSat data, aircraft measurements, and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Simulated precipitation and IWC were in general agreement with rain gauge, satellite, and aircraft observations. The cloud case was characterized by a predominant cold layer and high IWC throughout the cloud-development and precipitation stages. The CloudSat-retrieved products suggested that the IWC was distributed from 4.0 to 8.0 km, with the maximum values (up to 0.5 g m3) at 5.0-6.0 km at the earlymature stage of cloud development. High IWC (up to 0.8 g m-3) was also detected by airborne probes at 4.2 and 3.6 km at the late-mature stage. The WRF model simulation revealed that the predominant riming facilitated rapid accumulation of high IWC at 3.0-6.0 km.
