Short summary
This study improves rainfall simulation by applying the Generalized Double-moment scaling Normalization (GDMN) method to the rain Drop Size Distribution (DSD) in the Weather Research and Forecasting Double-Moment 6-class (WDM6) microphysics scheme. Using observed raindrop data, GDMN better represents variations in raindrop sizes. The modified WDM6 improves precipitation patterns, radar reflectivity, and storm movement, with benefits also demonstrated in a month-long East Asian simulation.
