SHEBA model intercomparison of weakly-forced Arctic mixed-phase stratus Hugh Morrison National Center for Atmospheric Research Thanks to Paquita Zuidema (Univ. Miami)

Overview Case study is derived from measurements during Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) field experiment ( over the central Arctic Ocean) Long-lived low-level mixed-phase stratus were observed during early May, focus is on May 7, 1998 Several key differences from MPACE cases: o Colder temperatures (~ -22 C vs. -15 C) o Much smaller surface turbulent heat fluxes (ice-covered vs. open ocean) o More polluted aerosol o Much smaller amounts of cloud liquid water

Goals Document ability of models to simulate thin mixed- phase clouds for conditions much different than MPACE Specifically, we want to focus on: o Longevity of mixed-phase clouds in simulations o Sensitivity to concentration of ice nuclei or ice crystals, and how this differs between LES, CRM, and SCM
