Fig. 9

Cloud microphysical properties simulated in the sensitivity experiment with a changing conversion ratio in the two-moment scheme. The horizontally averaged profile of the a liquid water mixing ratio (q l) and b precipitation flux averaged during the last 4 h. The solid green, dashed green, and dotted green lines show the results using the two-moment bulk scheme with the default autoconversion rate, two-moment bulk scheme with an autoconversion rate twice as large as the default, and two-moment bulk scheme with an accretion ratio twice as large as the default. The black line, dark gray shading, and light gray shading indicate the median, range between the first and third quartiles, and the range between the maximum and minimum values, respectively, for a previous intercomparison study (van Zanten et al. 2011)
