Relationships between horizontally averaged radar reflectivity (Zm) and optical depth from the cloud top (τd) for the case of thin clouds with polluted cloud condensate nuclei. Results are shown for a the bin scheme, b the bulk scheme with (νc, νr) = (1, − 1/3), c the bulk scheme with (νc, νr) = (− 1/3, 1). d–f are the same as a–c, respectively, but excluding droplets with a radius less than 8 μm from the calculation performed by the Joint Simulator. The flow of time is drawn in black, red, green and blue. From Kuba et al. (2020)
