| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the numerical simulation to reproduce and predict climate change, there is a high uncertainty in an expression of the growing process from cloud to rain. We tested several parameterizations for the process under the common circumstances, and understood each behavior comparing it with the satellite data in detail. After that, we newly developed a method to explicitly calculate the spatiotemporal distribution of raindrops and drizzle (water droplets having sizes between cloud droplets and raindrops) that have not yet been introduced in most climate models. The research results were submitted as peer-reviewed articles in international journals, accepted and published.
