This paper examines the “too bright” issue pertaining to non-planetary boundary layer (PBL) clouds over the South Pacific trade-wind region and its potential link to the falling ice radiative effects (FIREs). We run sensitivity experiments with CESM2-CAM6 (CESM2) global climate model with FIREs on (SON) and off (NOS). The model exhibits more in-cloud liquid water content (CLWC) and droplet above the PBL in NOS, leading to larger shortwave (SW) reflectivity at the top of the atmosphere than in SON over the trade wind regions. CMIP6 models are divided into three subsets: separately calculates the radiative effects of cloud ice and falling ice (SON2), combined (SON1) and without falling ice (NOS). SON2 models exhibit improved CLWC and SW reflectivity similar to CESM2-SON, while NOS and SON1 models are akin to CESM2-NOS owing to weaker surface wind stress and warmer ocean surface, caused by the lack of FIREs over the convective zones.

在 CMIP6 全球气候模式中调查南太平洋信风区非 PBL 云的“太亮”问题



本文研究了与南太平洋信风区上空的非行星边界层 (PBL) 云有关的“太亮”问题及其与落冰辐射效应 (FIRE) 的潜在联系。我们使用 CESM2-CAM6 (CESM2) 全球气候模型进行灵敏度实验,其中 FIREs 开启 (SON) 和关闭 (NOS)。该模型在 NOS 中表现出更多的云内液态水含量 (CLWC) 和 PBL 上方的液滴,导致在信风区大气顶部的短波 (SW) 反射率大于 SON。CMIP6 模型分为三个子集:分别计算云冰和落冰 (SON2)、组合 (SON1) 和无落冰 (NOS) 的辐射效应。SON2 模型表现出与 CESM2-SON 相似的改进的 CLWC 和 SW 反射率,而 NOS 和 SON1 模型类似于 CESM2-NOS,因为对流区缺乏 FIRE 导致表面风应力较弱和海洋表面变暖。
