Abstract Cloud microphysics significantly impact tropical cyclone precipitation. A prior polarimetric radar observational study by the authors revealed ice-phase microphysical processes as dominant mechanisms responsible for heavy precipitation in outer rainband of Typhoon Nida (2016). To assess model performance regarding microphysics, three double-moment schemes (i.e., Thompson, Morrison, and WDM6) are evaluated performing a set simulations same case. While these capture rainband’s general...
