Improving the Representation of Hail in the Thompson Microphysics Scheme
Methods to improve the representation of hail in the Thompson–Eidhammer microphysics scheme are explored. A new two-moment and predicted density graupel category is implemented into the Thompson–Eidhammer scheme. Additionally, the one-moment graupel category’s intercept parameter is modified, based on hail observations, to shift the properties o...

The prediction of supercooled large drops (SLD) from the Thompson–Eidhammer (TE) microphysics scheme—run as part of the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model—is evaluated with observations from the In-Cloud Icing and Large drop Experiment (ICICLE) field campaign. These observations are also used to train a random forest machine learning (ML...

Explicit simulation of hailstorms remains a challenge partly due to the lack of accurate representations of both initial conditions and microphysical processes. Using a moderate hailstorm case that occurred in Beijing on 10 June 2016, the impact of the initial conditions on explicit hail prediction has been studied in Part I of this two-part wor...
