Evaluation of ice and snow content in the global numerical weather prediction model GME with CloudSat

The present study evaluates the global numerical weather prediction model GME with respect to the grid-scale parameterization of frozen particles, both ice and snow, focusing on the performance of a diagnostic versus a prognostic precipitation scheme. As a reference, CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar o...
