Importance of ice nucleation and precipitation on climate with the Parameterization of Unified Microphysics Across Scales version 1 (PUMASv1)

Andrew Gettelman et al.

Summary: This study presents updates and corrections to the cloud microphysical scheme used in models like CESM, including a new scheme called PUMAS and the ability to run on GPUs. The main changes include refining ice nucleation, incorporating vapor deposition onto snow, and introducing implicit sedimentation treatment. The study finds corrections are needed for the freezing parameterization and that ice nucleation has significant impacts on climate. The revised scheme produces less cloud liquid and ice, but this can be adjusted through changes in cloud liquid loss. There are minimal effects on cloud feedbacks but reductions in aerosol-cloud interactions.

GPU acceleration of MPAS microphysics WSM6 using OpenACC directives: Performance and verification

Jae Youp Kim et al.

Summary: This study accelerated a microphysics scheme within MPAS using OpenACC directives and focused on parallelizing WRF's microphysics scheme onto a GPU. By optimizing the performance and minimizing data transfer, significant speed-ups were achieved compared to MPI processes. A precise verification method successfully distinguished GPU-induced differences from nonlinear error growth.

Two-Moment Bulk Cloud Microphysics With Prognostic Precipitation in GFDL's Atmosphere Model AM4.0: Configuration and Performance

Huan Guo et al.

Summary: The study incorporated the MG2 cloud microphysics and ice nucleation scheme into the AM4.0 model, showing favorable global simulation performance compared to AM4.0 with improvements in coastal marine stratocumulus, ice fraction realism, and dominant accretion over autoconversion. Sensitivity tests indicated significant impacts of nucleation and sedimentation schemes on cloud liquid and ice water fields, while higher horizontal resolution did not show significant improvement.
