The impact of secondary ice production (SIP) on an intense-precipitation event is investigated using 3D bin microphysics. Including SIP improves agreement with in situ aircraft observations (ice crystal number concentration and supercooled drop number fraction), generates small ice crystals, and redistributes condensed water mass toward smaller particle sizes. As these crystals melt, the liquid precipitation flux decreases, reducing total precipitation by 8 % and heavy rainfall by 20 %.

Short summary
Arctic clouds containing both liquid droplets and ice crystals are difficult to simulate. We tested how ice-related changes in a weather model, designed for temperate regions, perform in the Arctic. Ice crystal shape is the dominant factor: making crystals spherical substantially reduces cloud ice and shifts it to snow. These modifications are moderate in temperate regions but stronger in the Arctic. As this rests on a single case, they should be validated across diverse cases and climates.

This study examines why extreme rainfall can persist near coastal regions by analyzing a severe storm over western South Korea. Using advanced radar observations, we identify how interactions between airflow, precipitation processes, and coastal land–sea contrasts enhance storm organization. Our results show that these coupled processes play a critical role in sustaining heavy rainfall and support efforts to mitigate hazards in densely populated coastal areas.

This study examines the microphysical properties and ice crystal habits of low-level Arctic mixed-phase clouds around Svalbard. Using airborne in situ observations from four campaigns, we show that cloud microphysical structure and ice crystal habits are influenced by weather conditions and surface type. These results provide quantitative observations to better understand low-level Arctic clouds, their ice formation processes, and their influence on the Arctic atmosphere and climate system.

We developed a detailed rainfall dataset for South Korea by combining weather radar data with ground rain measurements. This dataset provides rainfall information every ten minutes at a very fine spatial scale from 2016 to 2024. We created it to better understand rainfall patterns and improve applications such as flood forecasting and water management. By combining the strengths of both data sources, the dataset offers more accurate and consistent rainfall information over time and space.

This study implements the generalized double-moment scaling normalization method for raindrop size distribution in the WDM6 microphysics scheme. Numerical experiments for a convective summer rainfall event show that the modified scheme better captures precipitation cell propagation, spatial rainfall distribution, and vertical reflectivity structures compared to the original WDM6 and other bulk/bin schemes.

Ice formation in sub-zero clouds is influenced by airborne particles called ice-nucleating particles (INPs), whose concentrations vary substantially over short time and spatial scales. To assess the role of INPs in our climate, a comprehensive and consistent global dataset is essential. Our GloPINE model-ready dataset is a major step in this direction, comprising 36,000 measurements made using a single instrument design (PINE) over 70,000 hours of operation at 20 northern hemisphere sites.

The Wind Synthesis System using Doppler Measurements (WISSDOM) is a practical scheme to derive 3D winds by using 11 radars in this study. The observations of shot-wavelength radars can be attributed to lower level precipitation and wind information in WISSDOM, which allowed for the capture of stronger updrafts in the convection areas of the squall line. Overall, these results highlight the advantages of using radars with multiple wavelengths in WISSDOM, especially shot-wavelength radars.

Short summary
Microphysics model-based diagnosis, such as the spectral bin model (SBM), has recently been attempted to diagnose winter precipitation types. In this study, the accuracy of SBM-based precipitation type diagnosis is compared with other traditional methods. SBM has a relatively higher accuracy for dry-snow and wet-snow events, whereas it has lower accuracy for rain events. When the microphysics scheme in the SBM was optimized for the corresponding region, the accuracy for rain events improved.

We developed idealized models to represent the shapes of ice particles found in deep convective clouds and calculated their single-scattering properties. By comparing these results with in situ measurements, we discovered that a mixture of shape models matches in situ measurements more closely than single-form models or aggregate models. This finding has important implications for enhancing the simulation of single-scattering properties of ice crystals in deep convective clouds.

Snow density is derived by collocated Micro-Rain Radar (MRR) and Parsivel (ICE-POP 2017/2018). We apply the particle size distribution from Parsivel to a T-matrix backscattering simulation and compare with ZHH from MRR. Bulk density and bulk water fractions are derived from comparing simulated and calculated ZHH. Retrieved bulk density is validated by comparing snowfall rate measurements from Pluvio and the Precipitation Imaging Package. Snowfall rate consistency confirms the algorithm.

We enhance the WDM6 scheme by incorporating predicted graupel density. The modification affects graupel characteristics, including fall velocity–diameter and mass–diameter relationships. Simulations highlight changes in graupel distribution and precipitation patterns, potentially influencing surface snow amounts. The study underscores the significance of integrating predicted graupel density for a more realistic portrayal of microphysical properties in weather models.

Since the winds in clear-air conditions usually play an important role in the initiation of various weather systems and phenomena, the modified Wind Synthesis System using Doppler Measurements (WISSDOM) synthesis scheme was developed to derive high-quality and high-spatial-resolution 3D winds under clear-air conditions. The performance and accuracy of derived 3D winds from this modified scheme were evaluated with an extreme strong wind event over complex terrain in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

We present a study linking rain, meteorology, and mountain lake phytoplankton dynamics on the basis of a case study at Aydat (France) in September 2020. The air mass origin mainly influences the rain chemical composition, which depends on the type of rain, convective or stratiform. Our results also highlighted a non-negligible presence of photosynthetic cells in rainwater. The impact of the atmospheric forcing on the lake could play a key role in phytoplankton dynamics in the temperate zone.

This study evaluates the performance of the four microphysics parameterizations, the WDM6, WDM7, Thompson, and Morrison schemes, in simulating snowfall events during the ICE-POP 2018 field campaign. Eight snowfall events are selected and classified into three categories (cold-low, warm-low, and air–sea interaction cases). The evaluation focuses on the simulated hydrometeors, microphysics budgets, wind fields, and precipitation using the measurement data.

Short summary
LETKF underestimated the water vapor mixing ratio and temperature compared to 3DVAR due to a lack of a water vapor mixing ratio and temperature observation operator. Snowfall in GWD was less simulated in LETKF. The results signify that water vapor assimilation is important in radar DA and significantly impacts precipitation forecasts, regardless of the DA method used. Therefore, it is necessary to apply observation operators for water vapor mixing ratio and temperature in radar DA.

Short summary
This study evaluates the implementation of predicted rime mass distribution a bin microphysics scheme. Based on the ‘fill-in’ concept, the model allows a smooth transition between unrimed and graupel ice particles. The implementation is tested for an idealized squall-line system and a heavy snowfall event observed by ground-based instruments in the Korean Peninsula. The new model version gives a better agreement with the observations with significant changes for precipitation.
