Fig. 8

Cloud microphysical properties simulated in the sensitivity experiment with a varying conversion ratio in the one-moment scheme. Horizontally averaged profile of the a liquid water mixing ratio (q l) and b precipitation flux averaged during the last 4 h. The solid sky-blue, dashed sky-blue, and dotted sky-blue lines show the results using the one-moment bulk scheme with the default autoconversion rate, one-moment bulk scheme with an autoconversion rate 0.067-fold (i.e., 1/15) smaller, and one-moment bulk scheme with accretion ratio 0.067-fold smaller, respectively. The black line, dark gray shading, and light gray shading indicate the median, range between the first and third quartiles, and range between the maximum and minimum values, respectively, for a previous intercomparison study (van Zanten et al. 2011)
