Comparison of two double-moment microphysics schemes in aspects of warm-rain droplet spectra and raindrop budget

Simulation results of the WDM6 scheme and the Thompson scheme, both of which are commonly-used double-moment bulk microphysics schemes, are compared within the Weather Research and Forecasting model. The purpose of the comparison is to study the difference in the aspects of the warm-rain hydrometeor...
