Evaluation of the WDM6 scheme in the simulation of number concentrations and drop size distributions of warm-rain hydrometeors: comparisons with the observations and other schemes

The number concentrations and drop size distributions (DSDs) of warm-rain hydrometeors play an important role in the simulation of microphysical processes. To evaluate the performance of the WDM6 scheme, which predicts the cloud number concentration (Nc) explicitly in aspects of warm-rain hydrometeo...
