Shallow convective clouds are strongly diluted by entrainment Siebesma et al. JAS 2003 Motivation

from Steve Krueger

Turbulent mixing in clouds Microphysical transformations due to subgrid-scale mixing cover a wide range of mixing scenarios. homogeneous mixing extremely inhomogeneous mixing Andrejczuk et al. (2006) ~1m m

1-moment bulk microphysics q l - liquid water mixing ratio, the only information about the cloud water Cloud water can exist only in the saturated conditions. In the bulk model, a rate of condensation, C, is calculated assuming the saturation adjustment – C sa Poor representation of the evaporation due to turbulent mixing!

1-moment bulk microphysics with the λ-parameterization λ - spatial scale of the cloudy filaments during turbulent mixing Broadwell and Breidenthal (1982); Grabowski (2006) Λ - the model gridlength; λ 0 - the homogenization scale ( ~ 1 cm). γ ~ 1 ε – the dissipation rate of TKE λ0 ≤ λ ≤ Λλ0 ≤ λ ≤ Λ

Evaporation in model with 1-moment microphysics Saturation adjustment is delayed until the gridbox can be assumed homogenized: λ = Λ or λ ≤ λ 0 C = C sa (saturation adjustment) λ 0 ≤ λ ≤ Λ C = β C a (adiabatic C) β – fraction of the gridbox covered by cloudy air – adiabatic condensation rate

Delay in evaporation in model with 1-moment microphysics Modified model with λ approach: homogenization delayed until turbulent stirring reduces the filament width λ to the value corresponding to the microscale homogenization scale λ 0 Bulk model: immediate homogenization mixing event Grabowski (2006), Jarecka et al. (2009)

2-moment microphysics and the mixing diagram Burnet and Brenguier (2007) Andrejczuk et al. (2006) N/N 0 homogeneous mixing extremely inhomogeneous mixing (r/r 0 ) q l, N l - two variables to describe liquid water which mixing scenario?

2-moment microphysics - mixing scenarios q i, q f – initial and final cloud water mixing ratios N i – droplet concentration after turbulent mixing, the initial value for the microphysical adjustment N f, - final (after turbulent mixing and microphysical adjustment) value of the droplet concentration Morrison and Grabowski (2008)

2-moment microphysics - mixing scenarios α = 0 homogeneous mixing α = 1 extremely inhomogeneous mixing Previous studies (Slawinska et al. 2010): α =const for entire simulation. r~q/N = const N f < N i N = const r f < r i

Using DNS results for λ-parameterization: mixing scenarios α = f(λ,TKE,RH d,r) We can calculate α locally as a function of these parameters !! Andrejczuk et al. (2009) α - > 0 α - > 1

Model and model setup 3D numerical model EULAG wwwm.ucar.edu/eulag/ Eulerian versionE Cartesian mesht Anelastic form 2-moment warm-rain microphysics scheme (Morrison and Grabowski 2007, 2008) Simulation setup - BOMEX Domain: 6.4km, 6.4km, 3km Grid size: 50m, 50m, 20m Time step: 1s Initial profiles from Siebesma et al Slawinska et al., ICCP 2008

Changes of the parameter α with height α = 1 extremely inhomogeneous mixing α = 0 homogeneous mixing height [m]

Vertical profiles of α, droplet radius and TKE height [m] α droplet radius TKE

Cloud droplet concentration in simulations with various mixing scenarios height [m]

Summary ✦ Predicting scale of cloudy filaments λ allows representing in a simple way progress of the turbulent mixing between cloudy air and entrained dry environmental air. ✦ Parameter α and the mixing scenario can be predicted as a function of λ, TKE, RH, and droplet radius r. ✦ In BOMEX simulations, α decreases with height on average, i.e., the mixing becomes more homogeneous. This is consistent with both TKE and droplet radius increasing with height.
