Profiles and size distribution function averaged during t = 3~4 h. Horizontally averaged profile of the a tendency of the liquid water, b tendency of potential temperature, c variance of w’, e precipitation flux, and f liquid water potential temperature averaged during t = 3 to 4 h. d Number density distribution (n (log m)) averaged over the whole cloudy grid at (solid) z = 1000 m and (dashed) z = 1500 m, where n and m are the number concentration and mass of liquid water, respectively. The red, green, and sky-blue lines show results of the spectral bin, two-moment bulk, and one-moment bulk schemes, respectively. The extended figures in b and f show the tendencies of potential temperature and liquid water potential temperature below 500 m, respectively
