Overview

Case study analyzes turbulent and microphysical schemes in ICON, impacting deep convection and cross tropopause transport.

Key Points

  • ICON simulations effectively captured the observed diurnal cycle of convection, including peak convective activity.
  • The turbulence scheme selection influenced the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of deep convection phenomena.
  • Microphysics parameterization significantly affected hydrometeor distribution within the simulated atmosphere.
  • Cloud properties were evaluated against satellite measurements from MSG/SEVIRI, ensuring accurate assessment.
