Fig. 7

Cloud microphysical properties simulated by Khairoutdinov and Kogan’s auto conversion scheme. Horizontally averaged profile of the a precipitation flux, b total water mixing ratio (q t), c liquid water mixing ratio, and d cloud fraction averaged during the last 4 h. The red, green, sky-blue, and pink lines show results by the spectral bin scheme, the two-moment bulk scheme, the one-moment bulk scheme, and one-moment bulk scheme using the Khairoutdinov and Kogan (2000) autoconversion rate, 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, of the previous intercomparison study (van Zanten et al. 2011)
