Improving Parameterization of Rain Microphysics with Disdrometer and Radar Observations (2006, background): “While two-moment parameterizations provide additional freedom in describing microphysics and spectral models are more rigorous, single-moment parameterization is still widely used (Walko et al. 1995; Thompson et al. 2004), for example, in the fifthgeneration Pennsylvania State–National Center for At”
Sensitivity of WRF cloud microphysics to simulations of a severe thunderstorm event over Southeast India (2010, methodology): “The schemes considered are single moment six-class (WSM6) scheme (Hong et al., 2004), the Thompson Scheme (Thompson et al., 2004), the Purdue Lin Scheme (Chen and Sun, 2002) and the double moment Morrison Scheme (Morrison et al., 2009).”
The Role of Entrainment in the Diurnal Cycle of Continental Convection (2010, methodology): “Microphysics is treated with the Thompson scheme (Thompson et al. 2004), which has six classes of hydrometeors including water vapor, cloud liquid, rain, cloud ice, snow, and graupel and is designed to limit excessive snow and graupel growth.”
Spectral (Bin) Microphysics Coupled with a Mesoscale Model (MM5). Part II: Simulation of a CaPE Rain Event with a Squall Line (2005, methodology): “The Reisner2 bulk parameterization recently was ‘‘upgraded’’ ( Thompson et al. 2004 ) by incorporating the Berry and Reinhardt (1974) scheme instead of the Kessler (1969) autoconversion formula.”
Development of an Effective Double-Moment Cloud Microphysics Scheme with Prognostic Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) for Weather and Climate Models (2010, background): “…clouds even though the strength of these double-moment schemes relies on the accuracy of the representation of several microphysical processes (Cohard and Pinty 2000b; Lee et al. 2004; Thompson et al. 2004; Milbrandt and Yau 2005; Phillips et al. 2007; Luo et al. 2008; Morrison et al. 2009).”
Impact of Cloud Microphysics on the Development of Trailing Stratiform Precipitation in a Simulated Squall Line: Comparison of One- and Two-Moment Schemes (2009, background): “For example, Reisner et al. (1998) and Hong et al. (2004; i.e, WSM3, WSM5, and WSM6 schemes in WRF) allow variable N0 for snow, while Thompson et al. (2004, 2008) allow variable N0 for all precipitation species (i.e., snow, graupel, and rain).”
A Novel Approach for Representing Ice Microphysics in Models: Description and Tests Using a Kinematic Framework (2007, background): “…of ice microphysics in models has a significant impact on quantitative precipitation forecasts (e.g., Rutledge and Hobbs 1984; Gilmore et al. 2004; Thompson et al. 2004), prediction of supercooled liquid water (e.g., Reisner et al. 1998; Thompson et al. 2004; Morrison and Pinto 2006), simulations…”
A New Bulk Microphysical Scheme That Includes Riming Intensity and Temperature-Dependent Ice Characteristics (2011, methodology): “To simplify the description of ice in BMPs, a monodisperse distribution is widely used (Hong et al. 2004; Thompson et al. 2004), which is also applied here.”
Structure and Evolution of Mesoscale Convective Systems: Sensitivity to Cloud Microphysics in Convection‐Permitting Simulations Over the United States (2018, background): “The detailed description of the references for the values in the tables can be found in Morrison et al. (2005), Morrison et al. (2009), Thompson et al. (2004), and Thompson et al. (2008).”
A Numerical Investigation of the Effects of Dry Air Aloft on Deep Convection (2009, methodology): “In the microphysical sensitivity experiments, the schemes of Thompson et al. (2004) and Gilmore et al. (2004) were tested, as well as the ‘‘graupel’’ option of the Goddard scheme.”
