Microphysical and Macrophysical Properties and Processes of Ice and Mixed-Phase Clouds: Linking in Situ, Remote Sensing Observations and Multiscale Models I Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 43401

Session Description:
Ice and mixed-phase clouds have large impacts on Earth’s climate. Composite analyses of in-situ,
remote sensing observations and multi-scale model simulations are needed for understanding their
physical properties, radiative effects, and the relative impacts caused by in-cloud processes.


We encourage studies that apply model simulations and observations to investigate ice and mixedphase
cloud characteristics and cloud impacts on regional and global climate. Relevant topics
include: (1) observationally-based analyses of ice and mixed-phased clouds, in-cloud processes,
secondary ice formation, cloud phase distributions from cloud scales to global scale, (2)
assessments of ice crystal and liquid droplet microphysical properties, (3) cloud macrophysical
characteristics, including spatial heterogeneities and temporal variabilities, (4) sub-grid scale
variabilities of relative humidity, water vapor, temperature and vertical velocity in model
parameterizations, (5) radiative forcing of ice and mixed-phased clouds from observations,
reanalysis data and model simulations, (6) observationally-constrained estimates of climate impacts
of ice and mixed-phase clouds.
