Results of a sensitivity experiment of the strength of numerical diffusion. Time evolution of the a vertically integrated turbulence kinetic energy averaged over the whole calculation domain and the profile of the b liquid water mixing ratio and c cloud fraction averaged over the whole calculation domain during the last 4 h. The red, green, and sky-blue line shows the results with the coefficient (γ) as 10−3, 10−5, and 10−7, respectively. The black line, thick gray shade, and thin gray shade indicate the median, range between the first and third quartiles, and range between the maximum and minimum values of a previous intercomparison study, respectively (van Zanten et al. 2011)
