1 Topic 5: Precipitation Formation Co leaders: Paul Field, Andy Heymsfield, Jerry Straka Contributors: Sara Pousse-Nottelmann; Alexandria Johnson; Andrea Flossmann;; Charmain Franklin; Irina Gorodetskaya; Ismail Gultepe; Jonny Crosier; Martina Krämer; Paul Lawson; Ulrike Lohmann; Wolfram Wobrock
2 Topic theme The aim of Topic 5 is to examine ice processes involved in precipitation formation. The objectives of the group are to: Assess what is known about each process Identify what we know less about Suggest ways to close these gaps through: identifying methodologies for measuring these processes (including insitu and remote sensing platforms). identifying required observations
3 Recap previous BAMS article What are the respective roles of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation under different ambient conditions? What is the relationship between IN and ice crystal concentration? When do secondary ice formation processes become important, what are the mechanisms for secondary ice formation, and on what do these processes depend? What are the freezing mechanisms below205 K? What are the optical properties of ice crystals as a function of habit? What are the sedimentation velocities of ice crystals as a function of habit? What are the spatial scales of cirrus cloud inhomogeneities? What is the value of the accommodation coefficient for ice and does it vary with temperature and humidity?
4
5 Processes Just consider processes involving ice Ice nucleation [massive subject area also See TOPIC 1 Diffusional growth/sublimation/evaporation/melting Aggregation Secondary ice production (splintering/breakup) (also see TOPIC3) Riming/graupel/hail formation Sedimentation: fallspeed, mass Aerosol-cloud interactions: Inadvertent Weather Modification?
6 Ice nucleation [Consider conditions warmer than T=-35C see topic 1 for colder] What we do know: At T>-35C, immersion freezing is dominant process (Lab, field work e.g. ICE-L, AIDA, CFD results) Dust (size>0.5microns) correlates well with IN concentrations suggesting that dust is a good IN (DeMott et al. 2010) Lab tests have isolated Feldspar as the active component in dust (Atkinson et al. 2013) What we know less about: Are other aerosol types are important (e.g. bio, soot)? Do we need to worry about time dependence (e.g. Vali)?
7 Diffusional growth/sublimation/melting What do we know: Use electrostatic analogy In the last 3 years models developed that use different habits (Harrington) Estimates of capacitance from modelling of mass flux to particle (Westbrook et al. 2008) and using aircraft observations (Field et al 2008) Earlier lab estimates from Bailey+Hallett. What we know less about No new estimates of ventilation parameters Few estimates of capacitance of complex shapes
8 Use of wave clouds as natural laboratories Wave clouds: Heymsfield et al. 2011
9 Westbrook and Heymsfield 2011 testing of capacitance and ventilation
10 Aggregation What we do know: Stochastic Collection equation Bulk representation - Ea
11 Aggregation Need to know: PSD, V, K(I,j) What we know less about: K(i,j) what is its form? Is sweep out kernel adequate model? What is aggregation efficiency, Ea, as function of T, E-field,etc?
12 Obtaining ice particle model parameters with in-situ aircraft observations Lagrangian spiral descent Drift with horizontal wind Descend with mean speed of ice crystals Repeatedly sample same ice crystals as they aggregate Courtesy: Richard Cotton
13 Use modelling to interpret results and estimate E a. e.g. Passarelli 1978, Mitchell 1988, Field et al Ice saturation conditions Only aggregation process is acting to change PSD
14 -The Manchester Ice Cloud Chamber (MICC) is a fall-tube 10 m tall and 1 m in diameter. Generate ice at the top Combine observations from CPI1, 2 with modelling to estimate Ea CPI1 CPI2 Connolly et al 2012
15 Secondary multiplication From AMS Glossary Hallett Mossop process(also called rime splintering.) One of the mechanisms thought to be responsible for secondary ice production, when ice crystal concentrations in clouds well in excess (x ) of the ice nucleus concentration are found. Ice particles are produced in the range of temperature -3 to -8 C (with a maximum at -4 C) as graupel grows by accretion provided the cloud droplet spectrum contains appropriate numbers of droplets smaller than 12 μm and greater than 25 μm. About 50 splinters are produced per milligram of accreted ice. Hogan et al 2002
16 Secondary ice production Extension to riming snow (Hogan et al. 2002, Crosier et al. 2011, Crawford et al ) Need laboratory confirmation
17 Secondary ice production New lab work by Knight at -5C There appears to be an ice multiplication mechanism in these conditions that does not involve riming. Recent studies have looked at crystal fragmentation using aircraft data (Schwarzenboeck et al. 2009, earlier proposal from Vardiman)
18 Graupel/Hail production If latent heating during riming leads to T~0C then wet growth (droplets flow before freezing, air bubbles escape, ice is clear), otherwise dry growth (air bubbles included, ice is translucent
19
20 Exponential size distribution parameters based on surface measurements
21 Sedimentation What we know Is a control on the amount of ice in the atmosphere important for radiation, precip and water vapour. Represented by v-d power laws based on direct observation and/or Best number-reynolds number parametrization (e.g. Mitchell and Heymsfield) Variable (+- factor of 2? for same size across many powerlaws ) What we know less about How to include variability of v-d in models (do we need to?)
22 Irina Gorodetskaya
23 Sedimentation Heymsfield and Westbrook Used tank and lab data to combine drag data with the Best-Re number method of estimating Vt (2010) Protat and Williams m/s residual in method: less than variability Should this variability be represented? Szyrmer and Zawadzki 2010 Disdrometer
24 PSD What we do know PSD has an exponential tail Scalable (possibly due to aggregation controlling its evolution) Past measurements affected by shattering What we know less about What does the small end of the PSD look like? Where should the mode be centred? Graupel/hail size distributions in cloud how do ice number concentrations relate to IN concentrations? How does secondary ice affect this?
25 Recent Developments in Knowledge of ICE PSDs New Probes, etc CDP SID 2 and SID 3 HOLODEC 2D S, 3VCPI CIP Grey HVPS 3 Probe Tips Characterizing Probe Response Ice Shattering in Wind Tunnels, Observations (Korolev, Lawson) Ice scattering models
26 PSD Recent papers: Tian et al (2010 JAS) suggests that lognormal distributions are best challenging the exponential tail idea. Woods et al (2008 JAS) grouped PSD according to habit. Exponential fit parameters a function of T and habit Mitchell et al (2010 JAS) combine remote sensing with PSD representations to retrieve the sub-100 microns size range of the PSD.
27 D e =48 µm Impact of PSD shape on the far-infrared spectrum (Baran, 2007 QJRMS 133, pgs ) Theoretical BT differences between shapes of the PSD but D e is the same D e =8 µm um D e =48 µm um TAFTS simulations: CIRCREX field campaign fall of 2013 spring 2014
28 New Observations DOE ARM Projects (ISDAC) NASA Cirrus Studies (MACPEX) NASA GPM Studies Hurricanes (GRIP, PREDICT) UK Met Office Balloon Borne Launches (Sweden) Laboratory (AIDA) Contrail, Hole Punch Obs.
29 Mass-size What do we know: m-d power law representation Aggregrates mass ~D 2 - insensitive to monomer habit (Westbrook et al) Estimate mass-size relationship through: Direct measurement of individual particles in lab or captured outside Equating bulk ice water measurement from CVI (e.g. Heymsfield et al. 2010) or Nevzorov probe with integrated size distribution (e.g. Cotton et al. 2010) m-d relations highly variable What we know less about: How to implement variability into models. Do we need to or is a mean representation sufficient?
30 Improving the representation of precipitation processes Requirement: Ice particle properties (m, v, Cap, vent) AND their variability as a function of spatial scale Solution: Improved sensitivity and range of bulk ice water probes. Additional statistics to provide spatial coherence Develop cloud microphysics representations that can use variability
31 Requirement: Validation of PSD representation (for ice and graupel/hail) Solution: Multi-sensor comparisons with same volume of ice cloud (e.g. Radar, lidar, microwave) Measurements of insitu graupel distributions
32 Requirement: Determine collection efficiencies for ice aggregation and graupel/hail formation Solution: New laboratory work More insitu Lagrangian flight studies
33 Requirement: Improved Ice nucleation treatment in models Solution: Continued laboratory and field work Determine whether time dependence needs to be represented Explore usefulness of including prognostic IN in models
