Controls on phase composition and ice water content in a convection-permitting model simulation of a tropical mesoscale convective system

Simulations of tropical convection from an operational numerical weather prediction model are evaluated with the focus on the model's ability to simulate the observed high ice water contents associated with the outflow of deep convection and to investigate the modelled processes that control...
