Description

Method to evaluate efficiency of microphysical schemes for converting water vapor flux to precipitation based on integrated vapor transport normalization. Uses atmospheric pressure and wind components to calculate meridional and zonal flux terms.

Typical Equipment

  • Statistical analysis software

Output Measurements

  • drying ratio
  • precipitation efficiency
