Fig. 3

Comparison of the three cloud microphysical schemes. Horizontally averaged profile of the a precipitation flux, b liquid water mixing ratio, c cloud fraction, d total water mixing ratio and liquid water potential temperature, and time evolution of e the liquid water path and f cloud cover. The red, green, and sky-blue lines show results of the spectral bin scheme, the two-moment bulk scheme, and the one-moment bulk scheme, respectively, and 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, of the previous intercomparison study (van Zanten et al. 2011). The small figure in d indicates the extension of the profile of liquid water potential temperature below 1000 m
