英文摘要 | Synthetic brightness temperatures of five infrared Meteosat SEVIRI channels are investigated for their sensitivities on cirrus radiative properties. The operational SynSat scheme of the regional German weather prediction model COSMO-DE is contrasted to a revised scheme with a special emphasis on consistency between the model-internal ice-microphysics and infrared radiation in convective situations. In particular, the formulation of generalized effective diameters of ice, snow and graupel as well as subgrid-scale cloud cover has been improved. Based on the applied modifications, we first show that changed assumptions on the cirrus radiative properties can lead to 10 K warmer brightness temperatures. Second, we demonstrate that prescribed relative changes of 20% in cloud cover and particle size induce maximum changes of around 4 to 5 K. The maximum sensitivity appears for semi-transparent cirrus having brightness temperatures around 240 and 260 K and total frozen water path around 30 gm(-2) for viewing geometries over Central Europe. We further consider the known COSMO-DE cold bias to discuss the problem of inconsistencies in model-internal and external formulations of cloud microphysical and radiative properties. We demonstrate that between 35% and 70% of the cold bias can be attributed to the radiative representation of cirrus clouds. We additionally discuss the We of window-channel brightness temperature differences for evaluation of model microphysics and hypothesize that the amount of COSMO-DE ice is overestimated in convective situations.
