The Impact

Abstract Numerical simulations are performed with the Weather Research and Forecasting Model to elucidate the diabatic effects of ice phase microphysical processes on the dynamics of two slow-moving summer cyclones that affected the United Kingdom during the summer of 2012. The first case is representative of a typical midlatitude storm for the time of year, while the second case is unusually deep. Sensitivity tests are performed with 5-km horizontal grid spacing and at lead times between 1 and 2 days using three different microphysics schemes, one of which is a new scheme whose development was informed by the latest in situ observations of midlatitude weather systems. The effects of latent heating and cooling associated with deposition growth, sublimation, and melting of ice are assessed in terms of the impact on both the synoptic scale and the frontal scale. The results show that, of these diabatic processes, deposition growth was the most important in both cases, affecting the depth and position of each of the low pressure systems and influencing the spatial distribution of the frontal precipitation. Cooling associated with sublimation and melting also played a role in determining the cyclone depth, but mainly in the more intense cyclone case. The effects of ice crystal habit and secondary ice production are also explored in the simulations, based on insight from in situ observations. However in these two cases, the ability to predict changes in crystal habit did not significantly impact the storm evolution, and the authors found no obvious need to parameterize secondary ice crystal production at the model resolutions considered.

This study uses a Fickian-Distribution parameterization [Chen & Lamb, 1994] to model the effects of ice habits on contrail formation within a large eddy simulation (LES). Box model cases were first performed at various ambient temperatures and relative humidities over ice (RHi) and results compared with available laboratory data of ice crystal growth and habit distribution [Bailey & Hallett, 2004]. The model was then used in a full 3-D LES of contrails and results were compared with in-situ observations [Febvre et. al., 2009]. Comparisons are also made with results from simulations that used a probabilistic ice habit model [Inamdar et. al., 2013].

The Ideal

Abstract. The Instabilities, Dynamics, and Energetics accompanying Atmospheric Layering (IDEAL) project was conceived to improve our understanding of the dynamics of sheet and layer (S&L) structures in the lower troposphere under strongly stable conditions. The approach employed a synergistic combination of targeted multi-point observations using small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) guiding direct numerical simulation (DNS) modeling to characterize the dynamics driving the S&L structures and associated flow features. The IDEAL research program consisted of two phases. The first was an observational field campaign to systematically probe stable lower atmosphere conditions using multiple DataHawk-2 (DH2) sUAS. Coordinated, simultaneous multi-DH2 flights were guided by concurrent Integrated Sounding System (ISS) wind profiler radar and radiosonde soundings performed by NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) participants. Additional sUAS flight guidance was obtained from real-time sUAS measurements. Following the field campaign, the second phase focused on high-resolution DNS modeling efforts guided by in-situ observations made during the first phase. This overview focuses on the details of the observational phase that took place from 24 October to 15 November 2017 at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), Utah. A total of 72 DH2 flights coordinated with 93 balloon-borne radiosondes were deployed in support of the IDEAL field campaign. Our discussion addresses the average atmospheric conditions, the observation strategy, and the objectives of the field campaign. Also presented are representative flight sorties and sUAS environmental and turbulence measurements.

Recent Laboratory

Abstract Recent laboratory experiments and in situ observations have produced results in broad agreement with respect to ice crystal habits in the atmosphere. These studies reveal that the ice crystal habit at −20°C is platelike, extending to −40°C, and not columnar as indicated in many habit diagrams found in atmospheric science journals and texts. These diagrams were typically derived decades ago from laboratory studies, some with inherent habit bias, or from combinations of laboratory and in situ observations at the ground, observations that often did not account for habit modification by precipitation from overlying clouds of varying temperatures. Habit predictions from these diagrams often disagreed with in situ observations at temperatures below −20°C. More recent laboratory and in situ studies have achieved a consensus on atmospheric ice crystal habits that differs from the traditional habit diagrams. These newer results can now be combined to give a comprehensive description of ice crystal habits for the atmosphere as a function of temperature and ice supersaturation for temperatures from 0° to −70°C, a description dominated by irregular and imperfect crystals. Cloud particle imager (CPI) habit observations made during the Second Alliance Icing Research Study (AIRS II) and elsewhere corroborate this comprehensive habit description, and a new habit diagram is derived from these results.

AbstractThe Rapid Deployments to Wildfires Experiment (RaDFIRE) was a meteorological field campaign aimed at observing fire–atmosphere interactions during active wildfires. Using a rapidly deployable scanning Doppler lidar, airborne Doppler radar, and a suite of other instruments, the field campaign sampled 21 wildfires from 2013 to 2016 in the western United States. Observations include rotating convective plumes, plume interactions with stable layers and multilayered smoke detrainment, convective plume entrainment processes, smoke-induced density currents, and aircraft in situ observations of developing pyrocumulus. Collectively, these RaDFIRE observations highlight the range of meteorological phenomena associated with wildfires, especially plume dynamics, and will provide a valuable dataset for the modeling community.
