Results

  • Events separation:
  • Interval β‰₯ 20 min between two DSD data
  • CCN: 2 hours means, 30 minutes before rain starts
  • Mean DSD calculated for each event
  • Only the first event on each day was selected, avoiding

rainout and washout effects

  • 16 events, total
  • 5 Local Convection, 5 Stratiform Rain, 6 Organized

Convection

  • Polluted X pristine pairs

Conclusions

  • CCN concentrations between rural and urban levels
  • Mean CCN1.0 ~ 2000 cm-3
  • Clear diurnal cycle and dependent on local circulation
  • Effective momentum DSD parameterization
  • Cluster analysis – DSD patterns identification
  • Stratiform rain: CCN (201%) -> Dm (6%); TDC (29%)
  • Local Convection: CCN (125%) -> Dm (10%); TDC

(23%)

  • CCN favored convective characteristics on Local Convection

cases and stratiform features on Stratiform Rain

  • CCN x DSD -> restrictive analysis, more data needed!
