"In this section, we will examine the ability of SP-CAM to replicate the properties of DCCs observed by CloudSat, in particular the double-arc reflectivity structure."

"There are two obvious, simple, possible causes for the lack of a double-arc CFAD structure in the CRM component of SP-CAM, beyond the lack of prognosed graupel in SPV4 and SPG4."

"In mean state sensitivity experiments with SpCAM4, we have found that the seasonality of TISO in terms of the geographical location of occurrences and direction of propagation is primarily associated with the annual march of the maximum SST and low level zonal wind which tends to follow the SST."

sparser
"Using QuickBeam, the vertical reflectivity structure of DCCs is analyzed in two versions of the Superparameterized Community Atmospheric Model (SP-CAM) with single-moment (no graupel) and double-moment (with graupel) microphysics."

sparser
"If the discontinuous jump in reflectivity exists in reality, but the CRM fails to replicate it, then a missing double-arc structure in SP-CAM is not simply caused by weak updrafts in the CRM."

"While SP-CAM (in particular SPV5) can represent certain properties of organized convection, such as diurnal propagation ( xref ), the CRM does not allow realistic organization of convection."
