Evaluation of Autoconversion Representation in E3SMv2 Using an Ensemble of Large‐Eddy Simulations of Low‐Level Warm Clouds by Mikhail Ovchinnikov, Po‐Lun Ma, Colleen M. Kaul, Kyle G. Pressel, Meng Huang, Jacob Shpund, Shuaiqi Tang

“…In this study, we evaluate the Au representation in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 2 (E3SMv2) climate model using large‐eddy simulations (LES), which explicitly resolve cloud droplet spectra, and therefore the local Au, as well as its spatial variability. The analysis of an ensemble of warm low‐level cloud cases shows that the E3SMv2 formulation represents the Au reasonably well compared to the horizontally averaged explicitly computed rate from LES. …”
